I have a schematic for EG from Tom Henry's book that seems nice that does
not use specialty IC and still has a low part count.  I don't have the book
at home right now.  I assume TH would not mind me copying that and sending
it to you since he has decided not to sell the book any longer.

50% of my alcohol consumption comes on the two days a year I play golf
(charity tournaments).  One of them starts at 7:30, so you have to learn to
drink early.  Every get stuck in a sand trap (and I don't mean the ball)?

Is it late?  I didn't notice.  I just finished drilling a 1U MOTM panel
into a simple 4 X 4 multiple.  I used nice heavy masking tape, laid out the
connecting lines (4 boxes, obviously) and used white spray paint to apply
them.  It came out quite nice.  The painting part was more trouble than the
drilling.  Dang, I'm outta jacks again.  Time for another Allied / Mouser
order.

P.S.  That joystick panel is my next drillin' project.
