Here you go..... Heretic mode voltage regulation with heretic mode current
limiting to protect your ball bag......

Jeorg would use a 40106 but this one doesn't work with a 4069....either.

Somehow I just know, for some reason, you felt the need to draw a shitty
looking circuit diagram. So mine looks prettier too.

Bonus!!

Yeah, right. So the voltage source "+" terminal is really negative. Seems
like an odd way to do it.

That might help; how does one specify Vhigh and Trise for A1?
I was also wondering abuut a power supply for the inverter, but since
this is an emulator, maybe one does not need to be specified?
