Mike, I too am planning on building some boards that will use the same part. I just sent a note to Digikey asking them about their intention to stock this...
My guess that the reason why it is being discontinued has to do with RoHS. There are probably some other parts that are going to change, too. Troy ... From:...
In User's Manual V.3 on page 8-10 in the second paragraph it states the following, "The subscript 5 is used in the output byte OB() because the three railroad...
Al, If I understand your question correctly, it would refer to the 5th byte on that USIC card, so in a way yes, it is the second byte on the second _output_...
Troy, As a follow up with them I found out that indeed it is a "lead free" part issue with them (as you suspected). Below is the response I received from...
Troy, I switch all my frog polarities, and connect the closure and point rails to their adjacent stock rails. While I am sometimes tempted to extend the frog...
Phil: If you have the May 2000 MR that's where the construction article appered. Otherwise you need Bruce's C/MRI user's manual V2 or 3. Jim Albanowski...
Last week I experienced several error beeps on the CMRI computer. This did not repeat itself, but two days later I booted the program and the computer beeped...

Jim, I found my May 2000 MR and the instructions are indeed in it. Construction of the first DCCOD is underway. Thanks Phil ... From: Jim Sherman To:...
... the etching. So it is. I should have guessed it was. My real curiosity was about the changes made to make it a Rev. E. Plus, a moderate grumble about the...
As far as I know, the revision E DCCOD was the only one released and May 2000 article in MR and the handbook reflected that revision. I understand the waiting...
Hi. If it isn't in the files section already, I can scan the article on the DCCOD that is in Model Railroader, but ONLY if it doesn't violate the copyright...

On my layout, I innstall the gaps where the signals, protecting the turnouts, stands or should have stayed. Thats what the real RR do unless they have a...
How does one tell the correct orientation of the U3 and U4 chips? I have one of each and there seems to be Indent marks on both ends of the chips. I swapped...
