Well its summer again and now that I have some time I am ready to start building my new coil. I have built to SSTC's before but I am looking for some real power now, and to use my 40n60 mini bricks. I have been looking at steve wards DRSSTC1. I am thinking something like that however does anyone have something better for a beginner with DRSSTC's. I will be etching everything on my newly received copper clad and winding a 90-100khz coil with some of the 5000ft of 29awg wire i justbought. So any tips of a better driver or is his the way to go?
EDIT: Think this PCB will still be a good one to use?

There is one *tiny* error on that board layout. The 74HC14 chips pin 7 needs to be connected to ground (top layer). I have never tried to make that board by hand, but it might be somewhat difficult with the spacing i used to isolate the ground plane (simply may not work). Otherwise that board design is fine if you were to get it produced.
