<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cassiopeia Talia Shoemaker Feb 21.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With her arrival plus my normal day job (Microsoft
Dev) and my second job (robot designer for Liftport.com) I just haven't been
able to dig my self out time to get anywhere further on this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it sits right now, the unit does work, you can
use a standard PC AT keyboard and the wedge to write on the 9100. The main
features are a lack of keyboard feedback (no lights) and no key repeat.
Both of those require bi-directional communications with the keyboard.
While I think I know how to do that I have not actually done
it.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to run some PCB's (just over 1" square) to
simplify building but I have not ever done that before so am not sure the best
route to do it. I have modified my v .1 design (which went to Kev and
James for testing a year ago) slightly to allow ISP updating.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I have not had time to incorporate the bug /
feature requests into the code. As I am not sure when I will be able to do
that I think I may just be forced to release this into the list domain for
anyone who wants to take a whack at Atmel GCC development.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Dave,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>OK, your child (unknown gender) should have arrived by now...any word on
the adapter?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The TTL list has been very quiet lately - I've been busy with the
business end and am just starting to re-use the Fluke (I had a tech working
for a number of months and he didn't like the Fluke much, so I didn't do
anything with it.) so I hope others might be interested in progress.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to use the Fluke IDE program on a W95 machine, but it keeps
dying...should I assume it won't work on W95?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

pretty much "ready" for her arrival I now have a little time over the next

software and I can do that upstairs on my laptop after she has
