Thank you! The Web URLs themselves are of little use (Jameco and
Digikey, in particular, have improved their websites to the point where
they refuse to work at all for me; Futurlec may work, even though
they're in the US - I need to investigate further), but the part
numbers embedded within some of them are very helpful.

Well, speaking personally, the project is not "get this piece of
electronics working as soon as possible, everything else can fall by
the wayside". I consider things like helping you people to the extent
that I can and you want to to be a perfectly fine part of it.
