[sdiy] Humans are not Becoming Smaller

Hi Ian
 Maybe I did not make myself clear. The OTAs have gone away. Perhaps
one could take advantage of SMD to replace them. I am fully aware that
the 3080 and 3280 devices are not available in SMD package. So no it is
not two different issues.
 I do not understand your last point. I am a electrical engineer, I feel totally
capable of of designing a OTA myself or stealing, ahem,excuse me, borrowing
some other design if it works. If it is a better mouse trap I will use it.
We all do this, do we not? 
Jeri

Two different issues, of course. 3080 30280 not available in SMT.

You are going to design it, or you are going to get other people to do it for you? :-)
