Hi Ben & others in Australia

Altronics list 2N3904 (Cat Z1200) and 2N3906 (cat no Z1202) transistors -
see www.altronics.com.au for their latest reseller listings

Jaycar list 2 multi-replacemnt transistors PN100 to replace the 2N3904 and
PN200 to replace the 2N3906 (but genuine part may be better as specs are
different). www.jaycar.com.au

DSE list just the 2N3904

Cheers

Peter

9364 Wed, 19 Jan 2000 16:42:14 +0200 [alt-beam] LCD name tag "Geoff Waters"
content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

I was messing around with a calculator LCD, that I found lying in my cupbo=
ard, and I was wondering how I can turn this into a LCD name tag. I think i=
t's powered by the bicore, how would I connect it to the LCD name tag, and =
can it be solar powered? Schematic?
Does anyone know if the BEAM International Games will ever be held in sunny=
South Africa?

Thanks
