RE: Blowing MMC bleed resistors...

[Terry Fritz <twftesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Garry,

	They need to be 10,000,000 ohms instead of 10,000.  I think Ted uses Radio
Shack resitors in his MMC but I didn't see the 10Meg ones in thier catalog.
 If the resitors are a problem, I can always order a bunch for people.
They are esay to send and cheap...

Cheers,

	Terry
