Modifying the Bias Stage for Single Vbe Multiplier

To bias the output devices, the driver board can be adapted to

1. Use two transistors in a totem-configuration, or
2. Use one transistor as a conventional Vbe Multiplier, or
3. Use no transistors at all if Lateral MOSFETs are used as output devices

Option 2 is illustrated below.  Placing a jumper between the Collector and Emitter positions for  Transistors Q2 and Q3, Resistors R12 and R18 allows use of
