I guess a couple of bootstrap components are not going to eat into the couple bucks budget he gave, that much. But I am wondering how well Bob Blicks circuits would meet the budget. There is a reasonable number of components on those. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
