Subject: OMS 820 Kit update

From: "Tentochi" <tentochi@...>
Date: 2001-11-05

Many people who wanted kits began ordering FPs directly from Larry.

Too eliminate any further confusion, I will NOT be providing OMS-820 kits.

You will need to acquire everything yourself including FPs directly from
Larry and PCBs directly from Tony.

This was too much of a hassle last time and the problems are already worse
this time.

Additionally, Dave basically copied Tony's design for the FP which allows
you to use Omeg pots and brackets. I proposed a design to Dave which would
have made the FP more logical, but Dave chose not to use this design. Dave
did not communicate with me as to why, but I assume it is to maintain
compatibility with the Oakley system. I personally prefer the MOTM
standard, so the Oakley placement was not applicable to the FP layout for
me. On the plus side, the Omeg pots and brackets make an L-bracket
unecessary and the LEDs will go on the FP directly from the PCB; this makes
for an extremely elegant design. And this also makes things a lot cheaper.
Make sure to also order your pots and brackets directly from Tony if you are
going to follow this path.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Todd
