Sorry, I'm really not willing to post all the details.  Partly 
because someone who didn't understand what they were doing would try 
it--and screw it up and blame me, and partly because it took me a bit 
of effort to develop, so I would like to get some of my investment 
back.  They're not expensive.  If someone wants one I will have to 
check what the Bosch Regs go for these days.  Figure a few bucks 
extra for the diode and installation, plus postage.
