[sdiy] Having a hard time finding the chips you want - roll your own!

[Magnus Danielson]

Dear all,

I constantly hear people looking for this and that chip, but have a
hard time finding it. Since we are all more or less into the mad
scientist level, it is just logical that we eventually will go for the
Chip-DIY trend.

Here is only one place to look:

There's more...

Actually, I'm not very serious about this... but if we only pretend
for a moment, just how much stuff would be necessary for a not overly
complex analog design, say up to 20-40 transistors, about the equalent
numbers or resistors and a few caps and a bunch of diodes. I think
I've heard the voices (keyboards actually) of a few sufficiently
knowledgeable people.

Sure, there are some pretty hefty chemicals in use...

But if someone think he could spare a garage-place and has been pretty
lucky in both gamble and love (I think an understanding wife is
required if one has one).

But anyway, it would be fun to just pick up some of the knowledge in
this field! Please speak up!

Cheers,
Magnus - has no spare space, no spare money and no wife
