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!
