And thanks for your kind words.

Regarding the PDF manuals, I did a PDF reprint of Vol. 2 several years ago. It is included in the software archive available for download at my site: Here.

I was half way on the job of the Vol. 1 PDF but Robert Meyer was faster than me ;-) and did an excelent job in reprinting that one.

Of course, both are publicly available on TOS.

As an anecdote about the HEPAX-0C prototype PCB replacement; once I had the new design finished I sent the Gerber files to a well known manufacturer. I thought I was ordering a single panel 3x5 for a total of 15 PCBs.

Seems that I didn't fill in the order form correctly enough, and placed an order for 15 panels instead. :-D

I'm now the proud owner of a life time (several lifes in fact) 224 PCBs supply... though I can hardly imagine I would ever need another one. I may "repurpose" some of them as fridge magnets... :-D

In case you're wondering, they are so inexpensive that one can hardly tell the difference in price. For example, in this case, 15 panels 3x5 PCBs was just US$9.50 more than a single panel, shipping being more than half the overal order cost.

Keep safe and best wishes from Caribbean.

Diego.

Amazing job! - cool that you have been able to reverse engineer the PCB layout. I guess the price of a PCB is much lower now than what it was when we developed it back in 1988.
