I like the way this is shaping up:
    BasicATOMPRO, naturally! (Been there, done that.)
    Optional display, yes!
    Optional MIDI, yes!
    Input attenuators, yes!
    Careful consideration given to voltage references and I/O levels and
scaling, yes!
    Allowing for future expansion, yes!
    MBASIC, sure!
    A SpeakJet option would be fabulous.

Any display will be better than none at all, so I'd be happy with a 2x8.

Dave, I assume that you mean MOTM horizontal units when you refer to 1U and
2U. (BTW, the 0.5U MOTM format was recently born on the MOTM list. It's
still just a concept but it seems likely to become real.) We can't forget
the Frac Rack folks, though.


Caution: OT comments, ahead.

Speaking of MOTM, y'all may know that Paul Schrieber's manufacturing
partner, Paul Haneberg, has suffered a stroke. The prognosis seems pretty
good (it was presumably a mild stroke), but please send your good energy,
prayers, magic spells, etc., his way -- whatever works for you.

What's a "phone"? ;-)

Don't know that one. We had a FOCUS programmer in our department once, but I
assume that it's something else (was mainly for report generation, AFAIK).
