[sdiy] Heat and Omni2's - a rant

[Tom Arnold]

So, its been in the 90s here in the lovely temperate SF Bay Area and the
last couple nights I've been doing battle with an Arp Omni2.  Sofar I've
replaced *every* tant cap in it with an NP electrolytic. except for the
few cases where space was a real issue and I used a modern fresh new tant
unstead.  Keyboard now plays correctly without extra noise and sticking
notes.  Still have one note that doesnt play, but I havent looked into it
directly yet. And the Synth section doesnt make any noise and the 8th
generation photocopy service manual gives me a headache when I try to trace
back where its gets its signal from.  I'm sure I'll find some crufty
CMOS in there when I do find it.  I've sworn not to dig into my sequencer
project until I've gotten this Arp working.  Still dont know if i'm going 
to keep it.

Anyway, for some actual content to this message...
What in the heck is COSMOS?  Kinda hard to do a websearch on that term and
get anything relevent.  The Omni manual makes some reference to COSMOS 
process ICs.  I thought it might be some weird term for CMOS but they also
use CMOS liberally too.
