Capacitor Question

[decription]

All right, som I'm building my own adaptoid from http://www.st-hans.de/n64.htm [loads-o-fun] and everything is going great. However, the site recommends a 100pf capacitor. Radio Shack only carries uF [micro-frads] capacitors, I know they're just different unit but what it 100 pf equivlant to in mF, i.e., .001 uf? Any help would be apprechiated, make sure you're absoluetly posivitive as it has to be right.

Someone please help... this is really important

That brings back lots of memories....

100pf capacitor...you can't find one? I'm nearly certain i've needed several of those. There are plenty of online electronics places where you could get that stuff if radioshack doesn't have one. Sorry I don't know what that converts to in uf...

1uF= 1000000 pF
so it's 0.0001uF or 0.1nF (and you have most chances to find little yellow capacitor
marked as 0.1nF or 0.1n or .1n )

Thanks flash. I just bough one yesterday, it was marked as in pf so it was irrelevant. Thanks anyway. But I had trouble finding my two CMOS 4006 chips. I found them eventually. So now I just wait for them to come in and I finish my adaptoid. Then, I'll test it out and post results and pictures here.
