Its easier that way, too. Don't make your packing people think too hard. Hell, I pack my kits, in electrostatic (proof) bags ! A little story that happened about 25 years ago. I had built a homebrew ISA IO card, that plugged into a 286 computer. It, in turn had a ribbon cable that broke out to connectors on a fancy protoboard jig. That way I could check out computer controlled circuits, in a similar fashion that Arduinos are used now. Well, it was in a carpeted room. One hot dry summer day, I walked in and the first thing I touched was "the jig". Zap ! Nice spark came off my finger and toasted most of the ICs on that ISA card. Good thing the chips were all in sockets, so the repair was quick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
