Richard--

Thanks a bunch for describing your clock-output mod. I may well end up doing
the mod your way, instead of tapping the 555 as per my original idea. I
suppose one advantage of using the internal clock signal is that you can
trigger the S&H externally ∗and∗ still use the internal clock for something
else. I'm not sure whether or not that outweighs the benefit of using the
comparator-based signal as you describe.

As for cutting a PCB trace vs. cutting and lifting an IC pin, I'm not sure
which I'd rather do. I suppose the advantage of cutting and lifting the IC
pin is that if I really blow it, I can just replace the chip altogether. :-)
