I sent it off....

    Just dropped the artwork off for my synth board.  I am a bit
nervous, since last night, I found an error on the schematic when I
simulated the digital logic for the ADSR generators.  My original notes
were correct, but I drew the schematic wrong (which I depend on being
right to check the board with).  Fixed that problem, and could not find
any others, but I would imagine there are still errors in there
somewhere (I hate mistakes).  The guys at the shop said the turn time
should be about 2 weeks (they are busy at the moment).

    Also, I got my new digikey catalog on Saturday.  Besides the AVR's
that I mentioned a few days ago, there were a few other interesting
items in there.  They also now carry the Rabbit processors (sort of an
enhanced Z80 clone as near as I can tell).  Also, the carry some of the
Amveco toroid transformers.  These are the smaller ones, but big enough
to power most projects (I use these at work, the bigger ones, but they
are nice transformers).

    On the down side, the CA3280 seems to be missing for good now from
digikey, but the LM13700 is still in there.
