Picsters.... I am curently working with high gauss miniature magnets..... I know that they can destroy a hard drive and floppy disk..but how do they effect a pic...and eprom???? Can they be shielded as you would shild an RF design?? Also would they create a problem in close proximity to a Switcher type circuit?
