Thanks for the reply, Ben.
Needles to say, all production on the SSTV interface has come to a stand
still! How long do you think it will be before the NEW and IMPROVED
interface will be ready? Will it use any of the same parts that were in
the original interface, like the RIOT chip or the 6809 (seeing as I now
have them on hand)? Will this new interface also do AM WEFAX? If it
doesn't, I will go ahead and build that interface. Will this new interface
still interface via the parallel printer port? Will there be LED
indicators on it for tuning indicators?
Does the program for the current interface support all the modes the
interface can do, or just the 8 second SSTV? Will the new software for the
new interface?
Looking forward to seeing the new interface about as much as I am waiting
for the next issue of the Amiga Transactor!
I understand you may be providing PCBoard layout with this one, and even
going commercial with it. I will just wire wrap it up, much quicker and I
got no plotter to make pcboard patterns! My usual way of building anything
to this point has been point to point wiring (messy), and am now giving
wire wrapping a good try.
Batteries all charged up for the wire wrap gun and nothing to wrap!!

P.S. The LEDs are also backwards in the current interface schematic, and
thanks for pointing out the new PPN.
