You may generally include this chipdir on CDROM. In the past I sometimes produced a more off-line friendly version (on request) for inclusion on CD-ROM, but with the growing popularity of ADSL etc. and my desire to make the site more database based, using PHP this hardly seems to be worth the trouble anymore. But email me when you disagree.

It's impossible for me to edit these files on the WWW servers themselves so they are updated only once every 4 to 6 months.
Please be patient when requesting a link or other change on these pages: You will almost always get it, but it may take a while.
The comments in the company address listings are the responsibility of the chipdir author and not of the companies themselves although data provided by the companies themselves or others is not rigorously checked.

Special thanks to Therese and Jim Bublitz of Midwest Components who help me to help people find scarce chips.
