I have the prototype under test. Driving it with a very hot signal for a couple of weeks continuously to make sure nothing drifts out of specification.

I'm having trouble with the name.... "GeODe" and "Germanium Dark Drive" simply don't seem "cool" to me. Based on Google searches, lots of potentially good names have already been taken.

Anyone have any thoughts about a name? I can't promise to use any suggestions, but maybe it can point me in a direction I haven't thought of...

The Mendeleev 32 (Mendeleev was the first to predict the existence of Ge, which is atomic number 32)
Clemens Winkler Dark Drive (Mr. Winkler discovered Ge)
Himmelsfürst (translation: King of Heaven, the name of the mine where Germanium was first discovered)

Ohhh... I really like the Mendeleev 32 overdrive. Are you ok if I use it and more than just the bossarea folks take one?

Nice. I would also ditch the word "add". Just call it dry or dry level.
