emulatorII-list

Good to hear it works now.
Although I have to say that 220 pF is quite high compared to the max. values that still worked on my emulators ;)
To make sure I can mention as accurate information as possible in the construction manual: can you tell me what revision of the E-II you are using (rev 0 board or rev 1 board) ?
Thanks !
