SV: Re: [sdiy] CMOS deathtrap

[Karl Ekdahl]

Well, that's what i discovered afterwards, looking at
the datasheet. Actually, i don't have a clue of what's
going on, i'm trying to do the simplest little SR
flipflop in a ADSR and it simply doesn't work or blows
up in my face. no, it was not connected backwards, to
(-) or anything. I guess it's a bad part. Can anyone
explain to me how i constantly can *not* get this SRFF
to work? I'm so confused, i've done this a zillion
times before... *sob* 
it's a classic NAND or NOR based FF using 1M to ground
and 1nF input caps. I tried replacing every part
several times and nothing works. Not even my
solderless-breadboard version.....   ...aaargfggggghhh
