I tried myself to get a DRSSTC beginings story. I dont know if it is very acurate, I am on internet only since 1999-2000.
Something like that:
2000-2001: Aron and Justin (HVguys): self tuning SSTC (the site is down)
2001 feb: Mazzilli Vladimiro: mini double resonant interupted SSTC (primary resonant cap and primary feedback)
http://www.pupman.com/current/vladi2/mosfet.pdf
2001 dec: Carl Willis interupted fixed frequency SSTC:
http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/cwillis/fetcoil2.html
2002: Jimmy Hynes DRSSTC using a VCO oscillator:
http://www.capturedlightning.org/hot-streamer/chunkyboy86/index.htm
2004 mar: Steve Ward ISSTC (self tuning but not resonant primary tank)
http://www.stevehv.4hv.org/ISSTC.htm
2005 Steve Ward- the first DRSSTC as we know it (resonant primary tank and self tuning)

Subject: [TCML] Looking for the origin of the DRSSTC in the archives

Hello:
I was looking at the list archives at www.pupman.com trying
to locate the first reference to the "drsstc" and other
variations of the Tesla coil using solid-state drivers, that
probably appeared between 2001 and 2003. But I could find
only scattered posts, apparently from incomplete threads.
For example, this post is apparently not there (the title is
a bit exaggeraged...):
http://www.capturedlightning.org/hot-streamer/temp/Probably-The-Most-Important-TCML-Post-Ever.pdf
Are the archives complete?
