This looks interesting but it could gain interest if it was clear about what this is written. I understand that it is about an encoder for the use of the SI570 but apparentely there is some kind of controller involved, sitting on a board with an EEProm. Where can it be bought or where are the schematic diagrams of it? Can anybody light me up? And if it is not meant for us all then please keep this conversation private between your mutual e-mail adresses. Where is the AQRP meeting?
