Thanks for mentioning that. I hadn't heard of it. And... I found one on ebay immediately and cheap.
As for the Nat. Semi. AN 905, hmm... I wonder if the PDF is as published by NS, or a product of scanning and OCR? It's fairly good, but I think a little off in the fonts.
Nat Semi was bought by Texas Instruments in 2011. Is it still possible to buy paper copies of back-issue ANs from some part of TI? Or do I need to hunt an old copy online?

Do you have something like a guideline from a printing company, specifying the structure of PDF files to send them for printing jobs? I'd be very interested to see that.
I'm also looking forward to your first printable cardboard slide rule file.

Well for my Rapidesigner I just scanned them in. Not as interesting as you think, now you have fuzzy high resolution scans with artifacts. :-DD

It's a zip that I call piz because Google always complains about zip files IME.

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure I had the Nat Semi databook CD set back in the day, and I copied them somewhere. In any case, doesn't PDF render with your system's fonts?

I just found this on my desk. Yes it's a messy desk...

This is a pretty good example of what I want. (Scans, not just photos??)
I can graphically correct every aspect of those images, and re-create the whole thing.
I love the nostalgia of such things, and have the ability to re-create it!
