If you wire
two diodes in series (PN->NP), it isn't the same as a
transistor (PNP), at all.
It is. A PNP is just the same thing as a PN-+-NP. possible space wise anyway, not even considering
characteristics. But
that don't change the fact that you get a working transistor with just
two diodes.
I am not convinces. If you have got this to work, can you please tell me
what sort of diodes you used, and I will try to recreate it (if I see it
working on my bench, I'll be convinced!)
