P.s. How is your paraflasher project doing? Do you have some programming results already?
No programming yet; still working on hardware design, I decided to make my own pcb's for it, something I have wanted to do for a long time. I have designed it with the gEDA tools (gschem, gsch2pcb, and PCB) which I have come to Love. Anyways the final harware should be kick ass. I have the programming for it in my head, just nothing on paper yet.
Nice! The last time i designed a pcb myself was ~20 years ago. It was a special and very expensive to buy type 1MB SIMM to expand my Philips 386 pc to 2MB! That were times. Nowadays i make my circuits mostly on breadboard.

Ps:I hear that nowadays you can order PCB`s real cheap in china. But i didn`t use it for my simple designs yet as i found the shipping cost for 1 PCB to high.
