I wish it were blue or blue green, but white should do. Can you buy the 
kit in blue or blue green??? I need 7 to do all my TI-8x calcs and since 
you say the kit does 7, that'll be perfect!
I might buy one just to test it out, before I spend over a hundred on 
all my calcs!

One question, how do the cut ELs connect. Are the leads simply a kind of 
snap on thing, or does the EL panel have just one set to make one 
conection? Also, how is the conetion made. Is it a wire on each side or 
what? Personaly, I think you should cut a piece out and try it with the 
included inverter, just to see how it runs.

Where did you get your inverter, and does the place have a minumum 
order. Does the chip require any support components what's the physical 
dimentions and pin layout. What's the part number???

I'll have those three switches in the mail for you today! They are 
wrapped in foil and there is a paper with simple instructions on 
mounting them. If you don't quite understand the instructions, then just 
e-mail me!


P.S. You could send an EL and inverter, pre prepped, but if you heat 
shrink the inverter, just send the un shrunk heat shrink tubing and the 
inverter separately, so I can see the chip and work with it. I'll send 
$25 with the switches. (Money order actualy)

Is this OK???
