 Otherwise, watch out for explosions at power-up.

3 ohms/volt dropper (5v = 15R dropper) to limit the surge was the standard
I learnt and still use.  Suitably adjusted/amended to allow for the load
current.

However I can not find the design notes that the value comes from, I have
got them somewhere.  The likely source is a Siemens databook from the 1980's.

gEDA-user: Importing from Futurenet

[Richard Stearn]

Greetings

I am looking to move to gEDA, the issue is my legacy schematics are
all in Futurenet5.

There was a discussion a couple of years ago on the list regarding
FN but that did not deal with importing FN into gEDA.

Has anyone an import toolset, is anyone interested in importing FN
drawings into gEDA?
