EE Dept. Lines: 36 In <1666@vu-vlsi.Villanova.EDU> I ask for someone to clarify a mismatch between the text and the illustration of an A1000 PAL grounding project described by Perry Kivolowitz in AC V3.3. Several people were gracious enough to reply. They are: rusty@hocpa.UUCP (M.W.HADDOCK), who posted a corrected illustration from AC V3.4 in article <343@hocpa.UUCP>; charles@hpcvca.HP.COM (Charles Brown) who, in <5660001@hpcvca.HP.COM>, tells us how to use an ohm meter to find the right lines to connect; Doug_B_Erdely@cup.portal.com, who tells us of yet another way to ground our PALS in article <7201@cup.portal.com>. His fix comes from the SUPRA people. Also, kjohn@richp1.UUCP (John Kjellman) sent e-mail explaining the correction. Shortly after I posted my query, I temporarily lost Net access. About that time, I stumbled on the phone number of ASDG and called them. Mr. Kivolowitz, who was gracious enough to speak to me directly, said that the text was indeed correct but the illustration was not. My thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out. I'm going to apply the fix tomorrow. I'm doubly excited about it 'cause if it works then I'll be able to use both my 2MB ASDG board and my new C-LTD SCSI controller at the same time. Oh Boy!
