On a related note, the latest issue of "Electronic Products" has an ad by Rockwell for a 5-channel GPS module which has all the receiver electronics for a GPS receiver on a small (2.5 x 4") card. All you need is some kind of micro with a logic-level RS-232 interface (e.g., an 8031). Price is $450 "in small quantities". 214-996-5731. They also mention an upcoming ISA bus evaluation board (for those of you who don't know where your PC is!) -- Rainer Malzbender Dept. of Physics (303)492-6829 U. of Colorado, Boulder rainer@boulder.colorado.edu 128.138.240.246
