Mark, you are correct.  See attached:

Hi Larry:

We are not using the MN3101; never have. This is a clock driver. The
MN3005 is still a production part, so no problemo. I'm not sure what all
the Moog hoopla is REALLY about. I notice he changed his mind after the
TM was announced...?

Hi All !

No need for a special chip to drive bbd's, it's enough to ensure that 
both 180\ufffd out of phase clocks do not overlap .  This worked in the 
TDA1022 (512stage) analog delay i scratch-built all these years ago . 
Afaik Reticon (SADxxxx) never made clock ic's to drive their ic's 
either .

Cheers .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
