They (MOTOROLA) already have a floppy disk for PC-compatibles called
``SPECS IN SECS.''  I got mine unsolicited in the mail a couple of
months ago.  I only glanced at it briefly enough to note that it covers
discretes only, whereas my interests lie almost exclusively in digital
logic parts.  It does support some amount of searching by family/by
parameter/by part number/etc. but I don't recall specifics. 

I think it would be great if they expanded it to include digital logic.
(Now, how fast is this MC10H116, anyway?  Could you hand me that brown
book on the bookshelf?  :-)  )

(I added sci.electronics to the newsgroups, and directed followups
there.)
