hi all,

pardon my butting in at this late stage but: the suggestion to reset to the last step seems
to have passed unnoticed. i'm looking at this from a slightly different perspective, in that
i'm only using a 160/161 combo, but the behaviour of the 161 is also a headache in this
respect.

the on/off status of the gates of the 160 is no more or less of an issue than if they were
reversed - depends what you're doing with them - but i think most users will probably
need the 161 to start on the first step after a stop/reset. a reset without the stop is a
different matter, of course, but i'll bet a quid that most of us use the reset after a stop
more often than during a run.

(except for those 5 and 7 step sequences, so:)

an a-161b which resets to step 8 would be a useful alternative for me. or better yet, a
jumper on the circuit board (ditto for the 154 and 155) to let the user decide i.e. no space
problems

sorry for the noobie stuff :)

p.s. @ dieter: how about a bus connection on the 161 for a second 161 running from the
same 160
