Warranty?  ROTFL.  Just make yourself a Digitool...it's worth it.

Darrell just handed me a cool addition to the Digitool at CoCC...the AFM
capacitor fix.  The neat thing is that the Digitool uses a standard DB25
connector, so he just affixed the capacitor to the correct 2 pins and you plug
it into the Digitool.  Simple, yet clever.

Just do it!  :-)
