Dusty <Dusty@DustyDustyDusty.COM>: Sep 26 09:00PM -0700 Not sure what to do with this SanDisk 32G.   I used the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition"   It saw an empty drive in the tool. (nothing showed in windows explorer)   I did a full surface check and got NO errors.   I tried to recover and got an empty drive.   I reformatted as NTFS.   It now shows up in windows explorer as an empty 32G drive.   How did all the file table vanish ?   Is this pen drive now usable or should I just trash it ?     Bob_S wrote:

There's nothing in the file table, is all.   > Is this pen drive now usable or should I just trash it ?   Just copy a few files to it and see what happens....   -- Wolf K kirkwood40.blogspot.com "Wanted.

Other than 9V pp3 and robbing 3 cells, I'm not aware they are sensibly (ie not 1000 minimum) available, even then pp3 ones are about 10 times too big. I was thinking of a 5V supercap might work as a replacement, if necessary

Job done. There's little point in the rest when the meter is so coarsely marked. You can adjust for 10v mechanically. You should find one in your scraps box.   Catgut is made from sheep, goats etc.     NT

Use a small value pot with a fixed resistor on each end. Easier to set, more stable.

Most plastics have a short common name for obvious reason. IIRC Mr. Webster's rewrite of American spelling occurred well before plastics in the 1800s.     NT
