I found the original schematics for you. EarlG may have hacked it a bit since then.

1. My dear billyskank!
I have often wondered how DU worked, and I am very appreciative of your diagram!

It's great to see you here again, sweetie...

I have missed you, and so have a great many other people...

How ARE you?

6. I heard it's been upgraded a bit since your diagram, so that it runs a little quicker.


You can see all the locked threads and deleted posts on the extreme lower right.

7. All too often I've gotten the "magic smoke."
It probably didn't work before the magic blue smoke, but it has never worked after.
