You guys do remember the FPE-clone from Germany, don't you? The one with
the bugs taken out and the design made clean?

I mean, as long as we are reinventing the wheel, why not contact the author
and ask him if he would consider selling the design to an American company.
Since the thing does not make him money now (ran out of boards), I guess
he won't be opposed to the idea.

Just a thought
