Ok I Have a question now On the page
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/2253/vectors.html
It states
>>The first thing you MUST do is to desolder/clip the outputs (pin 3) of the 7815
(VR3) and >>7915 (VR1) regulators away from the PCB. If you do not, they will get
HOT and be >>destroyed!
This is just because the page author was feeding the board 12 volts rather then
10, Right? or Am I missing something? Why would anyone really need to do all that
hacking to put a display up on a scope?
