Need some info for substitute parts

[nevermind1281]

I am going to make the Minty Boost, but cant find the diode or the inductor that it needs.  The diode is 1n5818 and the inductor is 18R223.  I have some 1n914 diodes, but can I use them instead?  I need stuff that I can get at Radio Shack because I am not making an order online for 2 parts.

The 1N5818 is a 1A Schottky diode with a very low forward voltage drop and it switches extremely quickly.
The 1N914 is an ordinary 75mA diode with a pretty high forward voltage drop and it switches much quicker than a 1N4002 rectifier but is still much slower than a Schottky diode.

When you order the Schottky diode online, get the inductor too.
