Joerg,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, the 68HC12 I have has 10 bit ADC, but
the BrainMaster serial protocol is only 8 bit. Do you know where I
can get the serial protocol for the ElectricGuru software? (Rob, are
you reading this?)

Do you have a timeframe for when the modularEEG schematics will be
released? My goal is to have something working by August 2002.

My background is as follows. I completed a BS in Electrical
Engineering in May 1999. I worked at Raytheon for 1 year writing
Space Station simulation software (ADA, UNIX host). For the last 1
year I have been working at Metrowerks; I've worked on device drivers
and system software (C and Visual C++, Windows host), embedded Linux
(C, Linux host), and am now writing perl scripts (Windows, Linux,
MacOS, and Solaris).
