     Be sure to read the Important Notice at the top of the Schematics page. In downloading files from that page you are agreeing to follow the conditions set forth in that notice. The schematics and articles posted on this site are for educational purposes only. If you intend to use any of the information posted on this site for commercial applications it is your responsibility to contact the appropriate parties for whatever licensing arrangements are required by law.

     I've added Questions and Comments sections to this site courtesy of tboy from AMPAGE. When you submit an item, a copy of it is e-mailed to me automatically. I may reply to you directly through e-mail in which case the reply will not be posted here. One note: when you click on the "Exit" button on the Q&A or Comments pages you are returned to this page, not the page you had just been at. To return to that page, click on the "Back" button in your browser.

     I've reorganized this site so that all of the articles, schematics and other reference material are listed in HTML tables on the three main index pages (Articles, Schematics/Links, Sound Files). Click on the appropriate index page in the left frame and then scroll through the listings to find the file you wish to view or download. For HTML, GIF, JPG and PDF files, if you Left-Click on the link the file will be loaded into the appropriate viewer within your browser. To download any of these files to your local hard drive, Right-Click on the link to bring up a menu and select the option labeled "Save Link As..." Some of the larger schematics will not load properly in many browsers so you are encouraged to download them and view them off-line using a program such as ACDSee. Note: if you download an HTML file it will NOT include any GIF or JPG image files referenced by the HTML file; to download the image files you will need to browse through the HTML file and save them individually by right-clicking on them as described above. As long as you keep the image files in the same directory or folder as the HTML file, they should be displayed properly off-line. (PDF files generally contain all of the referenced image files so that they can be downloaded with a single click without having to deal with all of that BS.)

     I'm in the process of converting many of the longer documents on this site to the Adobe Acrobat PDF format. If you don't have Acrobat Reader and the Acrobat plug-ins for your browser, click on the link below to Adobe to download the FREE software.

     The PDF format offers many advantages over HTML, such as smaller file sizes and shorter download times. The Acrobat Reader will allow you to view the documents on-line and off-line with your choice of zoom levels, and it has much better print features than a typical browser. I have also added table of contents frames when appropriate to improve navigation within the documents. When following links within a PDF document, if you need to backtrack, just right-click anywhere and select "Go Back". Hopefully, future versions of Acrobat will include a "Back" button (and a more functional Zoom feature that uses the right button to zoom out!).

     You can left-click on PDF files to load them into your browser if you have the appropriate Acrobat plug-in installed; you can right-click on them for a menu that will allow you to save them to disk to be viewed and printed off-line using the Acrobat Reader. One other tip: if you want the PDF file to open in a full-sized window in your browser (rather than just inside this frame), right-click and then select "Open in New Window". When done viewing the PDF file, close the new window to return to the framed view of my site. (This tip works for NetScape; Internet Explorer may use different commands.)
