Hey Terence.

Like the Site!  Great info on it - schematic, code and pics.  I know the 
Disk II controller has 2k of ROM code in it to boot.  The ROM card you list 
on your Site explains that, but what does the Flash Drive use?  It doesn't 
say and the schematic looks so 'bare' also.  I assume some of the Flash 
space is use for the code?  I'd like to know a little more on how the device 
works.

Anyway, neat Site.  You should definitely update it.  I would also like to 
speak with you in person if possible.  So much easier then typing.  Just 
check my Website under the 'Contact Us' and call my 800 number anytime.  I 
promise I won't bend your ear too long. ;-)

Hope to hear from you.
