I lost Russell's 3-transistor circuit, if that's the one you're referring to, I will add it to the page if someone can email it to me. Just from curiosity, why Russell's circuit for the higher voltages? -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
