Geez, brilliant response Frank. A guy needs help finding a prescaler
and you tell him he just needs a bucket full of transistors.

That's all a chip is anyway. It's just a really small bucket.

Why not
vacuum tubes or mechanical counters?

The vacuum tube flip-flop is a neat idea, and I have that on the list for this
winter. I don't think a mechanical counter will work at 100 MHz.

But maybe -you- can help Harry out in another way: He says that he can't find
any transistors that will work above 100 MHz, yet he is building a synth to work
at least that high. So what should he use for the VCO? A vacuum tube? Or a
really, really small tuning fork?

Here's some help for your next project Frank. Just get a bunch of
wire and solder and electronic parts and stuff and hook it all
together. Like freshman lab, remember? But from your communications
style, I suspect you're still in high school.

Well, when EWU handed me my diploma I assumed they had checked my high school
records.... but hey, you never know, do ya?
