Big Argghhh...  I *knew* I should have looked into this deeper - strangely
enough, the ECG catalog I have doesn't note that it's a JFET, just notes
that it is a n-channel FET.

Yes, all I wanted to use was a MOSFET.  I've got some p-channel MOSFETs as
well as high current (ZVN4306) n-channel MOSTFETS on order from Digi-Key, I
should have them tomorrow, and I'll post what I find on Thursday.

Mark, Thanx for pointing that out.  Boy, do I feel dumb :^(

Do you ever feel like an XT Clone caught in the Pentium Pro Zone?
