Spend $50 to get "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill, Cambridge Press (search -- there's a web site for the book too.) This is the first and last book you probably need on the subject. It was written for an electronics class for Physics majors at Harvard. It is not a math book, and encourages back of the envelope designs -- but teaches you good habits. *VERY* readable. There's also a Student Manual to go with Lab stuff. Even if you're a working EE, it's one of the first books to reach for when you have a question. RE: Analog RAM meter. I have most of a driver happening, but didn't ever hear what meters people wanted to use to hook it up. The pallet of surplus computers I got from NASA and others became more interesting, but I'd be happy to resurrect my end if there's anyone else out there. ;) -- "To misattribute a quote is unforgivable." --Anonymous
