[Usbpicprog-technical] Anyone interested in alternate parts sources or numbers?

[Joe W. <jwh...@ho...>]

My current goal is to have a USB-based programmer that can handle as many 
serial protocols as possible for device programming or interfacing.  That, 
or have a hand full of different cheaply-made programmers.  This lead to 
researching the different boards and figuring out how they work which lead 
to both thinking of other ways and searching for parts sources.  For 
example, I found the 'K105Z20Y5VF5TH5' number for a cheap 1 microfarad 
capacitor (13 cents even in singles...).  It is 5mm tall so pretty small as 
well for a through-hole part.

Anyone interested in alternate sources for parts?  I'm trying to compile a 
list of the prices and sites that sell equivalent/compatible parts for 
projects like this one.  The parts numbers from different manufactures that 
would also work are probably useful as well.  It's is borderline advertising 
for the companies I find, so I'm asking if it's OK first.  It's not like we 
haven't heard of more than half of them, though!  ;)
