RE: RATbox interest

Currently our target price is $199 (that will include an assembled board,
the parallel cable and the power supply to run it)

I used visual C++ 6.0 to write winRAT.
The API library will be generic, so controlling programs can be written on
any platform.
Currently the board requires a parallel port, but once we get it done we are
thinking about building a serial adapter so it will run on all the other
platforms in the world.

I'ld be interested. How much do you expect it to cost ? And just what chip
IS that on the board ?

While I'm bugging ya -- what did you write the Win 9x software in ? I'm
trying to guess how hard it will be to port. I don't knomally keep a Win 9x
capable machine in the workshop.
