Also, looking for a Scientific Conversions SC947-02, with the off chance someone knows where to get one (other than direct, which I have an e-mail in with them now). This is the one that lots of people stuck in the SB3...
An Altera programmer clone. Amazing what you can get in China these days for practically peanuts:

I'd use the 20K resistors. Yes, it needs to be at maximum resistance. Turn it on and monitor the voltage across the output resistors. Let it warm up and turn it up (bias up, trimmer down) until you can hold your hand on the heat sinks for 3 seconds.
I'm going to try that with the Compass Box. It's a very nice cocktail scotch, IMHO.
I found out I like black IPAs... (I don't like IPAs, so this was news)
