Well,
Of the two known boards sets, neither one of us is really interested in
having someone tinker with them and take chance to damaging them or their
components. Someone would also need to find suitable replacement for the
COPS411 MCU and read off the current code and port it to a newer MCU say
from Microchip or others. There are only 3 empty
shells out there, so I
doubt the demand would justify the work... IMHO, or maybe not
:-)

Why doesn't someone reproduce the boards used in the system and install
them in the empty shells? That is, if someone wants one badly enough.
