I would second those two recommendations, and add a third. If digital stuff is what you want to get into, you could do a whole lot worse than to get Don Lancaster's CMOS COOKBOOK. It is getting a little old, but I don't know of anything even close to it for getting into digital circuits. (His TTL COOKBOOK is badly dated by now but also worth reading.) -- "Where is D.D.
