Ship docks 29th, leaves 29th. Rush rush rush, full steam, er, diesel,
ahead. It won't be back until March 29th (doing a circuit of the islands
and US Pacific coast. Some people get all the crappy jobs ;-)) ). Just
one day to get it all right. If Mr Cock-up comes knocking, we ain't home

It'll be 16F628-based so as long as I make sure the interface is
electrically compatible, there shouldn't be any problems. Watch
out for "[EE]: How to re-wire a large ship while fending off a
bellicose Chief Engineer ?"
