Questions
- All caps seem to be NPO, X7R, X5R, or Tant. NPO = temperature independant, X7R & X5R = ceramic, Tant = tantalum. Problem: I only have an assortment, no other specs (prob. ceramic?)... According to Jacques, most small (pF) caps are NPO
- R160a - R166a should be 221K. They are part of (what I assume to be) an RC filter, and a load for that filter (the input impedance of that buffer IC is probably quite high). These are digital lines. I don't have those values, so I was thinking about taking 1k2/75pF for the RC filter, and 270k for the load. I don't see why it should be very critical.
- Build notes talk about using silver solder, this is not really necessary I presume.
