(20170326) (rev 20200524) The germanium inventory is there

So far, my silicon stocks are:

Note: Ft (transition frequency) is often misleading:

Why a PNP in the middle of the NPN ? Because of Complementary ECL : it must be possible to "pack" some gates together to form a circuit with alternating polarities, save some time and gates, and power too. For example the BFS480 could be paired with the MMBTH81 (though the speed disparity might not be a great choice)

I stumbled upon a stock of 2N2369, they might as well be included in this inventory "for scientific purposes". https://hackaday.io/project/8449-hackaday-ttlers/log/177581-my-own-try-at-a-ringo9-with-2n2369a uses some of them and I tested the 5ns rise time with few efforts (it can go faster with more efforts).

Note: some BC549C are already gone to contribute to #The Cardboard Computer :-)

20200521 : added the PMBT2369 and the BFP420

Hi Yann, I am going to watch this project very closely :-)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Don't hold your breath too much, it's just a "polished" version of the relay and germanium versions ;-) Hence it will come 3rd, as the germanium version is more fascinating :-D

  Are you sure? yes | no
