[sdiy] 7905 regulator "metal package"?

[cs e]

Google has been my friend for many years...I googled it for about 20
minutes, couldn't find a datasheet with the T0-3 package (found about
10 other datasheets, though).  I knew it had to be out there, but all
that would come up was the T0-220 datasheet.

It's good to know that there are still some googleing skills that I
can further enhance.

Best Regards,
Chris
