Regarding "myths" and SI, Folks look everywhere and believe what they "think" is there, and other folks may very well go, yup it's there. However, they only really "see", when the light is good. After all, if someone posted something on the SI list, then by definition it has to be true because only "the experts" on any given topic post there. Unless of course, they are a manager.........;-) or mangler as some may view it, on items of a technical nature.......8-P......when the light is good.......8-O. Everyone knows that if you can't see it then it is not there, much like the emperors new clothes. Lab correlation and validation will verify the lack of clothing. Ya myt could sim this as well. In the days of DIPs there was no need for any signal or power integrity and a twisted pair was merely two wire wrap wires put into a drill and the trigger being pulled, and wirewrap established the ideal spiral serpentining for signal transmission. That is all............ Best Regards, Michael C. Greim And all this science they don't understand Is just my job six days a week.....
