            (somewhat well known) version of the CGS analog shift
            register for quite a few people, with a number of
            improvements over the original.  I had traditionally used
            LF444 for the S&H buffers because of its low input bias
            current (typically 10 pA).  However, recently, I bought a
            number of them from a local shop (they had been sourced from
            Digikey), and they turned out to be defective (or
            counterfeit -- I'm not sure, they just don't work).  Out of
            desperation, I ended up using a TL064 instead (typical IBC
            30 pA, compared to 65 pA for TL074) because that was the
            next best thing I had in my stores, and it worked like a
            dream.  Very little S&H drift, even in "loop" mode
            (where the same three stored voltages are looped around the
            ASR outputs over and over).  I use 0.1uF caps in these
            S&H circuits, so 30 pA generates very little drift
            (about 300 uV/s, which I guess I can live with).</font></span></div>

              <div>When I come to think of it... I also very much prefer
