I don't remember. What did their LM324 do to you?On Thu, 17 Jan 2008 16:35:17 -0800, Joerg

Is there a really, really detailed schematic with guaranteed output
voltage limits versus sink current for the LM324? Most look like this:
http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM124.pdf
Obviously, page 8 top left and the schematic show that one can get to
around 700mV above the negative rail at 1mA, one BE drop of Q13 plus the
saturation voltage (or close to it) of Q12. But no "hard" data anywhere.
You don't like page 4 ?
Nope, they only give one value there, how much current it is guaranteed
to drive when at 2V above the rail (10mA). Then uA value stated for
200mV isn't too useful, it just confirms that the current source
outlined in the schematic actually made it into production ;-)
10mA is pretty much at the point where the output device loses it. Not a
terribly useful piece of information.
WHY are you using an LM324... CHEAPSKATE ?
Umm, yes, that would be correct. Also the sheer number of suppliers, no
single-sourced parts around here unless there really is a compelling
reason. And usually there isn't a compelling reason.
All LM324's are not made the same. Remember my blacklisting Motorola?
I've read that some of the heat sinks in there are on the skimpy side,BTW my Barricade needed a few power cycles over the last week. Not good.
Yep, Mine got like that more and more often over time.
at least I'll open it before I give it up. Mostly because of that LPT port.
I've got a Cisco wireless here (I believe same brand as Linksys) thatWhat did you buy to replace yours?
Linksys BEFSR81
also has a few CAT-5 ports so I can use it as backup should the SMC
croak on a busy workday. I try to have a backup for pretty much anything
essential.
Some firmwares supposedly could choke up when incomplete or deliberatelyTried a firmware upgrade before?
Yes. It was current, yet erratic :-(
mutilated packets arrived, requiring a power cycle. At least that's what
I've read.
Got one of those as well (Brother MFC). Also has fax, copier and scannerOf
course the real cheapskate fix would be to plug it into a timer that
turns it off for an hour after midnight
Yep.
Unfortunately I am going to need that printer port in there ...
Linksys makes a printer switch but, since the printers were wearing
out too, I bought printers with network ports... hp LaserJet 2015dn
and hp OfficeJet Pro K850.

We still write labels by hand, or I print, glue to blank label, then stick.We also have a Dymo LabelWriter 400, but it's local to my wife's
machine.
