The 12-channel OEM GPS board is manufactured by Talon Technology. The
one I used was 'hacked' from a Rand McNally Streetfinder GPS for Palm
III.

With a little experimenting I've found that the board will operate
satisfactorily from a supply voltage of +4.5V to +15V DC.
Ah-ha! That's quite revealing, especially the NZ connection to Talon
(the Streetfinder has a 'made in New Zealand' sticker). The picture
of the innards does match the innards of mine, so I think we have a
winner.
I've always wanted to get an APRS system set up... I think I may have
to pick up another one of these to hack.
Thanks!
