A lot of mfrs don't want anyone distributing their data sheets
for them, hence the links or altered forms. Copyright or rev/doc
control issues?

Docs for north american market aren't a priority, when 80% of
product is designed, made (and repaired?)off-shore.

Publications?             $ or lack of.

I've had EDN and EPD reps on the phone three times in seven
days, verifying mailing address, though they haven't delivered
a hard copy to any of my addresses in the last 30yrs.
Everyone else and their dog got one. Boohoohoo.

You figure they'd be able to recognize a return from direct
