I actually built it, though I restructured the boards to match some proto PCBs I had. To make it easier, I copied out the articles and bound them together. I saw that binder in the last few weeks - may have it here in OC. I'll look tonight. It's not a great copy, but anyone is interested, I'll hit the Xerox at Kinko's. (I doubt there's enough interest to be worth scanning.) I have all the English editions of Elektor, but they are not easy to get to. My garage is a solid mass of books and electronics. When I retire nextyear, the top priority is to clean up that mess. eBay will be a full time occupation for many many months. Some of the stuff is spoken for - I've promised Al K. he can copy anything he wants before I sell it. I shouldprobably donate all the software to the Museum, but I still don't feel positive about their permanence. Billy
