Of course, that won't get you a general list of "Gee, I wonder what this chip
labeled xxxx##xxx####-xxx does?" As I mentioned to Matthew in email, the
IC Master is the thing for that (at it's price, it had better be!)

Does anyone know of any publications that does the random-black-box
identification nearly as well as the IC Master, but that might be had for,
say, 1/5th to 1/10th the price?
