Yup. I knew there was a basis for my argument, and it is found on pages 84&85
of Shadowtech, section chemestry, subsection optical chips. The text explains
that the stuff OMC's are made of either bounce light of a green or red
wavelenght, depending on other outside conditions. This gives a BINARY
response, which to me indicates a still digital system. Thanks for the
assist, Mongoose.
