Got mine. Beeee - uuuuu - tiful boards! Class job all the way!!
Florida?!? Didn't you guys know everyone is moving to Austin??? We made a pitch to SY to come and now you can't pull him out of the live music venues!![]()
Plus there is Alex Jones in Austin to bullhorn away the banksters. Austin is shielded.
Franz, when the recession started, I put a chunk of cash into Swiss Francs Money Market.
Now it's worth quite a bit! The other chunk was in Euro's, and not so well, but still better than USD. I figured I needed balance with USD in emergency savings account.
My opinion is that this sorta recession was long overdue. We aren't supposed to delve into politics, but I blame weak minded short term thinking - no long term plan as being a big problem, at least for our country. It seems like some European countries at least have plans....I believe many Asian countries do as well, but I don't watch enough international news.

Ahem, *Bankers!* cough, cough.
Tea Bag...
I received my board and minikits, everything looks great. Thanks a lot for all your work on this project.
BTW, what are folks planning on doing for heatsinks? I am going to build a +/- 15V supply, and will be running around 350-400 mA total current, so chassis bottom is not going to be enough. I need to use sinks less than 3" high, and so far I have not found any stock that will fit.

Merlin...
Thanks. I am running those sinks on my Salas/Quanghao boards, and things are still running really hot even with the lid removed and ventilation from below. The +/- 15 VDC supplies for the Legato II are just OK with about 290 mA CCS current. I would really like some bigger sinks for more dissapation.
Plus, these sinks will not fit on the BiB board in a verticle position. I would like to find a sink I can mount to the chassis floor, and then tap for both FETs.

Yeah...
Thanks TB. I think I will get creative as well. I have some 1/4" slabs of copper laying around, I think I might use one of those to transfer heat from the FETs to the chassis floor. Not a huge amount of surface area in the copper, but lots of thermal mass and great heat transfer abilities...

Heatsinking...
...try using the old pentium CPU heatsink. I used it for my QH boards.
