[sdiy] new FETs at Mouser

Hi All --

The Mouser catalog now shows some Fairchild transistors.  In particular, 
they now again carry the PN4391 n-JFET, which in my opinion is the best 
readily available discharge switch for sawtooth oscillators. You can get 
either TO-92 or surface mount.  The TO-92 is only $.16.  This is a good 
opportunity to stock up on these devices, as sometimes they seem to be hard 
to find.

They also have the PN5432, which I believe some folks have also used for 
the discharge switch.  It carries more current but has a larger capacitance 
than the 4391.
