Very nice! I'm working on a unique enclosure for one of Pete's older 8091
clock boards. Won't have it done for a couple months, as slow as I work. If
this come out the way I hope it will, I may offer a few for sale. Will
post some pics

Also BTW I'm big fan of OSS so I love to see open source software and
hardware.. We use redhat at work because it's supported but I love Linux.
Solaris is kinda on it's way out being replaced by redhat Linux. Do you
have any more boards for the 8091?

Thank you . I believe that might be the Remote System from PV
Electronics - I have used that elsewhere but for this I wanted to make
a
compact unit with all the WiFi, Web Gui, underlighting and other
features
from the Open Source 'Prism' design by Ian Sparkes.
I am pleased with the result, yesterday I made a simple acrylic
case for it - because it is going to take me an age to get anything
more
interesting together - I'll post a picture of it when completed - an
injustice the the tubes I know - but better than a bare board sat on
my
shelf ticking away!
I have a couple of PV Remote Systems lined up to populate old
Australian Valve Tested units that I acquired - yet another project
waiting in the wings!
What issues did you have with the main board for the Remote System?
I had a couple of the early ones and had to replace the LM2596-5 on
both
boards. Apart from that - rock solid.
