Steve,

I should have noted in my email where I first saw the device - I receive 
both Nuts and Volts and their spinoff, Servo Magazine. The company 
advertises in both. But it wasn't until recently that I thought about 
its uses for the CoCo.

I haven't yet looked deeply into their BasicX controllers, but from what 
I have read, they sound pretty cool. I have a robotics project (if I 
ever get back to it, that is) that could use a nice microcontroller for 
a few auxillary tasks (servo positioning, mainly), and one of these 
might be ideal.

Thanks for the further info on it!
