Bug report from Willi: BIBLIO.LST #51

Description

@shidel
  1. [TYPO] – Spelling & Grammar

    Bibliography Section (Raytheon Entry):

     Error: "...Raytheon TMC2361 info from document tmc2361.pdf, availble from..."
    
     Correction: "...available from..."
    

    Undone Section (Crystal Semiconductors):

     Error: "Crystal Semicondutors CS4610/4611..."
    
     Correction: "Crystal Semiconductors CS4610/4611..."
    

    Contact Info Section:

     Error: "The List Project is in not affiliated with Ralf Brown..."
    
     Correction: "The List Project is not affiliated with Ralf Brown..."
    
  2. [TECH] – Missing Data & Logical Inconsistencies

    Missing Source Titles (Empty Quotes):
    The following entries in the Undone section have empty strings ("") where the document or manual title should be. These need to be filled or the quotes removed if the title is unknown:

     Intel 82371AB (PIIX4)
    
     C&T 64300/64301
    
     C&T 82C311/82C315/82C316
    
     DEC 21150
    
     DEC 21152
    
     DEC 21153
    
     DEC 21154
    
     ITT VPC 32xx
    

    Archival Links (Technical Advice):
    Many URLs in the Undone section (e.g., fission.dt.wdc.com, ftp.chips.com, ftp.digital.com) refer to servers that have been offline for over 20 years.

     Suggestion: Since the note "verify availability" is already present, it would be highly beneficial to add a note suggesting the use of the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) for these specific resources.
    
  3. [FORMAT] – Alignment & Consistency

    Page References (Undone Section):

     Observation: Some entries include page numbers in brackets, e.g., [p.16-34] (Intel 82595TX) or [p.19,25-30] (Cirrus Crystal).
    
     Consistency: Ensure there is a consistent space before the opening bracket. Most have it, but the Intel 82595TX entry (Line ~3430) has it right after the URL string.
    

    URL Consistency:

     In the Undone section, some URLs end with a period . while others do not. In a plain-text bibliography, it is usually safer to omit the trailing period to prevent it from being accidentally included in a copy-pasted link.
    

    Contact Info URL:

     The GitHub link https://github.com/LoopZ/TheList is the first modern (HTTPS) link in the bibliography. It stands out but is correct for a 2026 update.
    

[SUMMARY OVERVIEW FOR THIS BLOCK]

This section is vital for the academic and legal integrity of the list. The most important fixes are the "in not" grammar error in the affiliation disclaimer and the empty source titles for the Intel and DEC hardware.
