TTL Data Book, 2nd edition, 3rd printing

Jul 22, 2023 Last reply: 2 years ago 14 Replies

At the town dump I found an almost pristine copy of the Texas Instruments "TTL Data Book for Design Engineers", second edition, third printing, copyright 1981, 9.5 inches tall by 6.625 inches wide by about 1.5 inches thick, and 2.5 pounds.



The book was in with children's books (huh?), so nobody had noticed it.



Is anyone interested?



If not, back to the dump it will go, but in the technical books area.

here there is many more categories; cardboard,paper,wood,plastic, glass,metals,electronics,furniture, building materials,garden waste, hazards materials, reusable clothes, recyclable clothes, probably a few more and the "the rest"

Is there a scan of it on Archive.org? If not, you should donate it to someone like Bitsavers to scan and unload it.

These electrons are from slightly earlier, but still good.

mmm vintage electrons

A classic....The first edition provided endless hrs of reading on my Senior EE Advanced Computer Arch class....we designed a 8 bit ALU. Thank you for sharing J

here they have cameras with license-plate recognition, if it is a business vehicle they send a bill to the business ~$15-20 per trip depending on the size of the car also lets them keep track of how many times people have been there, and in some place check if you live in the area

here everything must be in clear bags and the people working there can get pretty grumpy if you are being stupid

On visiting the dump, depends on where you live. We have family and friends a hour north of Boston. In that area, everyone visited the dump. A Saturday ritual was to load the trash in your vehicle and go to the dump. It has a number of areas - general garbage to be compacted, a shed loosely divided into some areas that have tables & shelves for: kitchen & household (small) appliances, electronic 'stuff', childrens things (toys etc.), and books (all kinds). The early to mid 90s was a rather good time to pick up 'old' PCs & parts, printers, old Macs, etc. Most of the time the electronic stuff we picked either worked and had minor issues. Haven't been there in 10+ years but I understand it is still the same. The dump serviced a number of townships around the area.

Don, you should write a book. Or maybe several books. You know, to let off some steam or something. Sort of like you do here.
