Be careful with the "99" book, there are MANY errors.  Even the Hbridge 
circuit won't work as drawn due to having N-channel FETs instead of 
P-channel on the top side.  Comp.robotics.misc often has posts from 
robot builders stumped because one of the circuits in that book won't 
work.

Success,
Roger.

Time and accident cannot replace intelligence and purpose.
