I thought about that also.

I'm not excited about a plant specialist swapping chips. : (

IF the palm is the problem, there is no reason the unit cannot be 
brought back to a *REAL* pc with a real serial port and use that.

So far, we are looking at some temperature sensors, moisture meters 
and some solenoid outputs.

I could make a small logic card and a larger field termination board 
so they can plug the two together or unplug as needed.

um... I have an old hard drive holder that allowed me to swap hard 
drives.  has a lot of connectors on it....   use and old PC case for 
the screw terminals and such...


kinda like this...  http://www.bpcomp.com/rack.html
