     I have an TMS9918A chip (a video chip made my Texas Instruments)
around which I am building a computer video output board (S100).
Although I have the chip, I have been unable to get a data sheet for
it.  I would be most grateful if someone would be willing to send me
a copy.  (I would be happy to reimburse you for reasonable copying
and postage costs.  Please email me before you copy and send to avoid
the (unlikely) possibility of 50 people sending me the same thing)

     Alternatively, any pointers to where I might find the data sheet
would be helpful.  I have seen Steve Ciarcia's article on using this
chip which appeared in Byte in the early 80's (that is what my project
is based on) but it lacks some electrical characteristics of the chip,
and more importantly, almost all programming information.

     As usual, please reply by email (rather than by posting).
Any "me too" comments can be sent by email as well, and I will let
you know what I find out.
