I'd appreciate it if you stuck your request here.

When I have sorted out the bugs, I'll make the URL more public. You 
never know, someone might have what you are looking for.

Feel free to put any silly entries in for test purposes, as I would like 
it tested.

As you will see, someone has pointed out the spelling errors. 
Unfortunately, I have never got around to getting a decent spell checker 
on my UNIX box. I write my web pages in vi, which does not have a spell 
checker! But I will spell check it more.

If you find any branch of test equipment missing from the list, let me 
know.

Once I have it working properly, I'll remove all the entries added by 
people for test purposes and just leave the serious requests for 
application notes, manuals and help on test equipment.
