  Technical Reports by Hanspeter Schmid.
The two internal reports «The ideal amplifier myth, and a complete amplifier classification» and «Understanding integrated amplifiers» that appeared as Tech. Reports 9801 and 9802 (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Signal and Information Processing Laboratory, Zürich, Switzerland, January/March 1998) are just preliminary stages of the paper Approximating the Universal Active Element. It does not seem to make sense to still distribute them.
