Some time ago I posted to the list a description of a Stamp like project by Robin Abbott which features in the September (October ...) issue of ETI. As promised, I mailed Robin for further details. He subsequently sent a lengthy reply which has been sitting in my mailbox for a fortnight while I was on vacation. I have mailed him again requesting permission to forward his comments to the PICLIST. I can though answer a question raised by Ray Bellis concerning the price of the PIC BASIC interpreter. Robin will program a device supplied by the user for 15 pounds sterling. A PCB for the project will be given away with the October issue of ETI and the Windows software will also be free of charge. TTFN Nick P.S. My vote is to keep the list as it is (no newsgroup access here) :-( chp3howarnj@ntu.ac.uk
