Hi Dave and all Thanks for the links, these will be really helpful.
I am not finding the parts I am interested in, more than likely because they are older parts that I wanted to play with out of an old parts unit. NEC952, NEC951, NEC003 and some older processors, ect I hated to throw them away before trying to do something with them just for fun, but I guess if the part isn't current then it isn't catalogued anymore either. Thanks for the information though it will help with real projects down the line.
