surely they could run into legal wrangles with gaurantees?

This I have to say I agree with... I am suprised he seems prepared to goto 
such lengths to get these chips... maybe I should try and get a job with 
him? hell, maybe we all should! sheesh, what a company, we'd be unstoppable 
, at least at spending money on parts anyway :-)

I looked at the RS integrator it is indeed a great system, and as you say, 
well engineered, but the poor chap has no marketing, Ive seen one review in 
'future music' (dodgy title) and thats all. shame.

I wouldnt mind seeing the circuit for this vco though :-)
I may invest in one and take a peek...

TTFN
