Josh, I really like the idea of the poll you're doing, and I'd love to see REX back in stock for folks that want them.
I see no reason, however, not to also gauge the potential interest of the Tandy 200 and NEC models. I realize those boards are not available on OSHPark (yet), but the potential interest for these other variants might influence the original designer(s) on the decision to make those boards available up there as well. :) Gary Weber www.web8201.net On Sat, Sep 30, 2017 at 6:26 PM, Josh Malone <[email protected]> wrote: > Folks, > > There's been lots of interest lately in obtaining REX units.
