I still like my analogy: a VCR or tape recorder.
{-taH} is Play, and {-vIS} is Record. You know how Play is always a right
(forward)-pointing arrow, and Record is a circle? That's because Record does
only recording in one place, and Play is what drives it along. You can play
without recording, but you cannot record without playing. If you press
Record, Play will go down along with it.
I guess this means that {-neS} is the clock, and {-Qo'} is the channel select
. . .
