[sdiy] Possible New Waveform Generator Circuits

[rdrake]

I think the original question was something like "can anyone help me with this circuit idea?"... and it sounds like the answer, from this list anyway, is "no".  no need to go any further than that.

simon--the ascii "schematic" is not clear to me, nor apparently to others... although i'm sure it's clear to you.  a good next step might be to present your drawing to the group in a format we can understand.  typically, we put schematics on the web as gif, jpeg, or pdf files and refer to the url in a post to the list.  if you don't have access to a web site, i'd be happy to post it for you.  just a suggestion.
