   I can provide scans of this article.  I will see if I can get it  
done tonight.  I seem to recall Ciarcia having done a couple of other  
programmers after this (very early) one; I will check his books to  
see.  I'll see if I can get to this tonight.

   It would be near-trivial to adapt the original design to be driven  
by a microcontroller, by the way.
