[sdiy] Mixed Signal Design Book

[MTG]

I don't have this book, but it looks pretty interesting. Maybe it can 
find a home on the shelf beside the other books that discuss synth and 
audio design (and that are very often analog in nature). It's written by 
the late great Keith Barr who founded MXR and later Alesis.

An interesting industry tie-in (to me) is that Marcus Ryle was at Alesis 
too, and he later went on to form Line 6. I stumbled on this while 
looking at some EPROM .bin dumps and noticing references to Fast Forward 
Designs.

We could really use one of those org charts (like the Prog Rock bands 
have) for guys like this along with the usual legends! I'm sure there 
was a lot of engineering migration between companies in Silicon Valley 
as well as other hot spots on the planet.
