The least expensive ones are in the pF range. We can afford one or two bigger ones, but we can't afford to make them all bigger. Plus, you'll need a resistor or two, those are more also. If we did multiple transistors, they'd have to be different sizes (not a big deal) and you don't get the fine-pitch challenge with them, like you do with the mini-gates (SOT-323-5 and TVSOP). _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
