   Make an effort? The page you linked to had 90 devices listed and I   
   would have had to read through up to 90 datasheets to find the right   
   one out of that lot. So yes, that certainly *would* have required an   
   effort!   
   Paul gave a precise and succinct answer to the question which saved me   
   a lot of time. If that's "spoon-feeding" then I'd like to see a lot   
   more of it on Usenet.
