Yes, absolutely. I meant to mention that in my article but forgot, so now all I can do is endorse what Mark says. My rule of thumb about static protection is "be paranoid". I use a 3M model 8501 anti-static kit which has conductive pad to lay the machine or board on, a grounding clip which you can attach to the chassis frame ground, and a conductive wrist strap. Cost me $55 and worth every penny. You may not be able to justify something that sophisticated, but use something! -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"
