Oh the "Turn of the Screw" columns/book are all 100% correct, it was 
just the commercial products that had errors in them. Not enough to 
prevent normal trouble shooting, just enough to prevent directly copying 
the design. An accomplished designer such as yourself should be able to 
spot the error since you fully understand circuit design. I couldn't, 
but then I wouldn't be doing more than basic trouble shooting, and the 
schematics he provided were good enough for that. Any good engineer 
could have reverse engineered his stuff easy enough, he just made sure 
it wasn't simple! --------------- Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:46:48 -0400

Niiiiiiice.... then why publish the schematics at all?  Silly...

Bad Tony!  I will never read 'Turn of the Screw' with the same warm
fuzzies again.
