Pulling hair over Apex 7A!
#12

Terry


I'll be honest, once I looked at the sch without the circles, I relused myself from the further dealin with it - I starte3d having a headache.
I hate badly drawn schematics: not only you have to figure how it works but you also have to interpret some extremely bad drawing habits; it's like hacking a piece of spaghetti code that is not commented at all as well; sorry Brenda, my head hurts enough from work Icon_smile


PS: you know, there is something to be said about the engineering documentation discipline. In the old USSR we had a thing called "ГОСТ" - transliterated as GOST (sounds almost like "ghost"). Stands for "state mandated standard". It actually dictated exactly how every type of part was to be drawn. Heck, I never had problems reading those schematics. Even those that were 70 years old.
