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