Got it. Twelve active devices, looks ugly. Uglier still when the outputs and inputs are buffered.

Sorry to put you to that trouble, I didn't intend my answer to be treated seriously. Frank Murphy founded Murphy Radio of Welwyn Garden City (UK) in 1930 and eventually sold out to the Rank Organisation - so there was an electronics connection. -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |
