tReplacement Diodes for G-05 / Microsemi info

I hate to say I don't have a cross-reference for Atari's diodes (BY-208-600
and BY-208-1000), though I did get this info about Micro Quality Semi /
Microsemi. It seems that according to their site, if Varo, Inc ever made
the diodes, they're still making it because of their "no product
obsolescense" policy. This is a GOOD thing!!

Now if we can figure out the properties of the two HV diodes, someone at MQS
can cross-reference it for us. I have a feeling that the "Mike" mentioned
is the CEO of MQS.

Hope this helps! It sounds good. Now to find what the diodes really are.

Feeling diodey,

-John
