Voltage Regulator

Hi, all. Just wondering whether any of you guys could help me source a
low voltage drop down regulator part No. KA78R8. It's pretty hard to
find in my area. I can buy a handful...so to speak. I have been
searching for this baby for a long time..

Firstly, we don't know what area you are in so that info would be
useful. It also helps to put the complete part number in your request
ie. KA78R08.

At a guess you are in Sth. Africa?

His name? And possibly a traceroute to the NNTP posting host using a
program that plots nodes on a map.

If you look at the full headers you will see that he is posting from
66.36.212.249 Enter that into a Whois lookup like DNSSTUFF and you'll
get a report: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=66.36.212.249

As Michael Terrell said, I used WHOis to find the NNTP host and it
said domain was .za, which is Sth africa - in the same way as .au is
Australia and .de is for Germany etc.
