- Some time ago (probably several times) someone (or several someones)
- posted a simple circuit to disable this "feature" for Suns. Something
- like a pull-up resistor on the RD line, though of course that's not
- quite right since that would prevent any signal. Seems to me there
- was a diode ... um, maybe from RTS or some such.
-
- Sound familiar? Would someone who has a real, functioning circuit
- please e-mail me a copy? (I'd prefer e-mail as I may miss news with
- the holidays and all, though I'll pass the thing along if there is a
- lot of interest.)
-
- Thanks in advance!
