Alas, but I only have red HeNe... Forgot the Kimmon HeCd though! It doesn't fire, but I haven't tried hooking it up to a proper 240 outlet yet vs a transformer, or trying a violet ray to help ionize the tube. I was able to get a response from a guy at Kimmon who said that model is the one

Don't laugh, but I recently threw out a pile of 486 stuff, mobos, proc, even PIII, etc. And a couple of 8086! I recently bought a usb floppy drive because my HP hybrid scope has one in it for storing traces and such and also to upgrade firmware, etc. I actually started an inventory of my

The way I understood it, it was their whole stash of them. They wanted to get Fran to do something cool with them rather than keep them in their cupboard. An attitude I can well understand as my piles of coolstuff grow ever bigger (no, I don't have any giant Nixies :) Fran has a big interest in
