It was also Mary Tyler Moore at the end of her last show of her TV
series, rather than a kitten.

This is not a binaries newsgroup. You can post it to
news:alt.binaries.schematics.electronic by attaching it as a GIF, JPEG,
or other common image file. Then, post a message here giving the name
of the post. If you try to post a binary file here, most people will
never see it.

How many do you need, and can you use ones pulled from PC boards? I
may have some left that I pulled from damaged boards.

Win, I did a lot of digging and the best I can find is five glass
1N4004s. I have either used up all of the glass 1N4007s, or didnt but
them back into the right place the last time I used some of them. Are
they high enough voltage to test your circuit? If they are, E-mail me
with a shipping address, and Ill send them to you. I appreciate the
offer of the parts, but I am to the point that I dont feel well enough
to do anything at my workbench. It has been about 18 months since I felt
like trying to do anything, and most of my test equipment was water
damaged in the 2004 hurricanes. Its just too depressing to try to work
with what little is left.

So, you think that a single datasheet covers all manufacturers, and
all production runs? Once again, you show a great lack of
understanding. I have several glass 1N4004 diodes in front of me.

Sure. Why not? They are as big as the plastic versions.

What else do you expect out of him, John? he has to beat his chest

Why not use the printer port and just issue the right command to pull
the reset line low with a DIP or reed relay?

Not on a computer. On the other hand, I work with well designed
equipment that doesnt need a panic button.
