Unfortunately I don't own this book. When I tried to order it from .de,

Well, it looks like the H7441 has some funky design tricks.

The H745 has a 723, the H7441 has two OPAs and two NE555. The H745 looks
quite simple and I think I understand what the different parts do, but
the H7441??? One OPA seams to do some over current protection, one the
voltage regulation. So the NE555 are doing the ON / OFF timing??? Have
to dig deeper into that...
Unfortunately it doesn't seam as simple as the SGI Indigo2 PSU repair I
did today. I had a close look at the PCBs of the PSU and saw
electrolyte... The machine seams to run stable again, now that I
replaced the electrolyte capacitor in question. :-)
