On or about 12:08 AM 1/1/99 +0000, Tony Duell was caught in a dark alley
speaking these words:

>Happy New Year to all!!!

>> 104
>> Z
>> 50V

>Yes.. 104 -> 10*10^4 pf (read the numbers like the bands on a resistor,
>but in pf) = 0.1uF. The Z is the tolerance, I think. 50V is the maximum

>In other words that's one of the 0.1uF decoupling caps I mentioned. C1
>should have been just like it.

Yep... FYI: The ol' garage-door Atari 810 floppy Drive used bunches of
these glass caps for decouplers as well.

Most any type of cap (of the right size, of course) will work for a
decoupler cap, AFAIK. Of course, with electrolytic and tantalum caps, you
will want to make sure you have the polarity correct.

For you Tandy 100/102/200 Owners: Only 365 Days to 1900!
For you Tandy 600 Owners: Sorry, you'll have to wait another 101 years!
(The calendar is good right up to 2099! :-)

Happy New Year!
