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