Joe > Are you talking about the TAPR/JAMSAT TrakBox?
Yes. Already has the turbo chip etc and a backlit display. Now for sale (UK only so far), advert in Oscar News; asking 100 UK pounds. > They work pretty well.

I'm running XP and hyperterminal works fine thru a USB serial adapter. You could probably copy hyperterminal to other PCs. > Assuming the lithium battery has not leaked and the kit is well constructed, > you should be able to recoup your investment. The old battery had died but, believe it or not, that battery is still available so I've replaced it. 73 Richard G3RWL > Hi Gang > I'll be selling a Trakbox soon; would be grateful for advice on what > price to ask (in UK money).
