In a 9-to-48 volt boost converter, I was seeing over 100 volt spikes at the fet drain, blamed on forward conduction delay in the PN diodes.

Cool.I used to do that on Supernews, but they now reject posts with attachments, even text. I got an eternal-september.org account as well, and they apparently allow attachments.

(BTW you should get a real newsreader and a (free) Eternal September account--lots of people round here killfile anyone from Google Groups because of the spam and the zillions of blank lines. http://eternal-september.org ). If you have an eternal-september.org account, you can just use your mailer and attach the .asc file as you would any other file. Otherwise, open the .asc file in a text editor, and cut-n-paste it into your post. Mike Engelhardt understands the goodness of human-readable files!
