Hi Jim,

> I have put the SOURCE CODE for the HC11 on my webpage.

Cool, thanks Jim. I have some HC11 boards and I will try
loading the firmware to see if it loads okay. Are you
using bufalo monitor to load the firmware? What tool(s)
do you use to compile and load that onto the HC11?

Cool, bonus code! We can LIFT the user up off the ground
when they get within target thresholds. hehehehehe.

That's fine for hobbyists/hackers, but I don't think it's
a good idea to base a product on a commercial board from
someone else. It's too expensive, and what happens when
they discontinue making the board?

This is the problem with building brainmaster. If there
was a PCB board design file, I would have already sent
it off to PCBexpress long ago and built that. So I think
it's a mistake to base it on a commercial board. The
custom PCB route will be cheaper and it's reproducable.

As I said, I'd like to try yours out. Maybe I can make
it work with my existing HC11 boards. I also want to
try out the OpenEEG design. I think it would be really
interesting to compare performance etc.
