	I just ordered some laser diodes from Unicorn Electronics.  The 
	add said they are SB1053's.  Since they were only 10.00 apiece 
	I thought they would be neat to experiment with.
	Questions:
		1) Does anyone know who makes them?  Maybe they also make 
		a driver chip for it.

		2) Are these just junk, or has someone out there actually
		used them?

BTW if anyone is interested, the add is in the back of the new
BYTE IBM Edition.

	Thanks,
		Tom...
