It's very easy to see 0.1F as a "typo" of 0.1uF. OTOH 100mF is also prone to the "typo factor", so I don't really see it as much better. How about something like: 100 000uF? I thought about 100,000uF, unfortunately in many parts of the world the ',' character means the same as we use the '.' character! :) TTYL ----------------------------- Herbert's PIC Stuff: http://repatch.dyndns.org:8383/pic_stuff/ -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
