  I was going to flip through the old String'N'Thingz' manual to see what
elements could prove useful in a module.

  Send me copies/scans of the string section!

  Hm, another one I'll want to see, for reference.

  I hope to do everything inside one or two uC chips...

  ...whereupon I should note, while the uC is a digital device, it will be
essentially generating string pulse waveforms the same way as the
divider/multiplier chains of years gone by did.  It is just that today it
can be done inside a 50 MIPS 18-pin part instead of 30 CMOS gates and
'flops.
