A friend of mine just acquired one of those big

emergency signs (the one with the little flourescent flip segments).
It works, except the computer that runs it is flaky on a good day.
It's an Epson HX-40 with a cassette interface that connects to the
sign-control circuitry, running a proprietary control app.
Hey, I want one! (the sign, not the computer :)
Well, it's for sale, but you'd need to either come to NW Indiana to
pick it up, or find someone one their way to VCF with a trailer hitch
who'd be willing to tow it for you.... ;o)
