Sheeeesh! Slowman can't even _connect_up_ a 555 ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson parades another one of his delusions. Since I managed to make a working phase-locked loop out of his MC4024 and MC4044 back in 1972, it seems obvious that I can cope with cranky components, and the 555 didn't get to be as popular as it was by being tricky to use.

And your book is "101 things a boy can do with a 555".
It wasn't a hobby device back in 1974 when I first had occasion to look at using it.
The spec I was trying to meet was over-ambitious - the LM322
came a good deal closer to meeting it than the 555, but couldn't hack it either, and I wasted a good deal of time squeezing better - but still inadequate - performance out of an emitter-coupled multivibrator.

-- And what\'s wrong with that??? I post lots of 555 circuits when the device is appropriate to use, while you do nothing but kvetch about that the chip is fit for neither man nor beast.
