Subject: Re: [PolySix] Tuning problem on Polysix

From: Johannes Hausensteiner <johau@gmx.net>

Hi,

search the message archive for a message from Peter Andersson on
Tue Feb 10, 2004 3:30 pm (msg #646). He had the same problem and
found a replacement part for the opto isolator. I downloaded the
data sheet then. Now I have uploaded it to the files section of
the list.

Cheers,

Johannes
