[sdiy] bypass caps for TTL

[James Patchell]

Ceramic Multi layer, .1uF is what I always used...TTL...talk about 
retro.  I am packing up all of my old TTL chips and getting ready to 
"dispose" of them.  I pretty much consider them to be fairly useless these 
days.

         Trouble is, in my collection, I have some rather unique ones.  The 
most unique?....Well that would be some SN74S482s which are a 4 bit slice 
micro code sequencer chip.  I also have a few SN74ALS384 and SN74ALS385s 
which are a serial multiplier and a serial adder/subtractor chips 
respectfully.  Still trying to decide what to do with the more rare 
chips.  I also have a whole bunch of 74F169 four bit up/down counters that 
I was at one time thinking of making into a top octave generator...but that 
kind of job is now left to FPGA's...
