I've just had to look this up and though it would be of use to people here (I searched on the forum and couldn't find anything)

Nice of you guys to share, but if I may interject:

Any time you have a "I thought this might be of use to some people here" thought, but you're not asking or answering a specific question, and the information you're sharing isn't particularly time-sensitive, you probably have an excellent wiki candidate on your hands.  Consider adding or enhancing a Wiki page, then just post a link to it from the forum.

Sharing info is always great, but the Wiki is a much better way of compiling knowledge into an actual reference.

(This is of course merely my two cents)
Cheers

Agreed. I moved this to the  MIDIbox Documentation Project subforum as a failover because I lack the time to wikify it myself right now.... But the wiki is where it belongs.
Which reminds me:

We're still in desperate need of contributors to the new wiki layout!!!

I was intending to put it in the Wiki, just lacked the time. I will copy it across when i get chance and will also add some other basics such as resistor colour coding, etc.

I think this kind of list should include the three number codes like 103, 104 etc which look really strange to those uninitiated.
