   For those of you interested in the software aspect of DIY_EFI, take a
look at the uC/OS real-Time multitasking kernel (ftp.uu.net in
vendor/microplex/pub). I'm porting this to my 68000 board and it looks
like it will simplify the timing problem associated with the sampling of the
various sensors. For example, it can be setup to sample the coolant sensor
once every minute, the air inlet temp once every second, and calculate
injector duration every 100mS. The kernel manages the timing and priority of
the process for you.

John -- I understand you are using a GCC cross compiler for your 68000.  As 
long as you are on a unix system, GCC is easy to configure as a 
cross-compiler.  If there's interest, I can dust off my linux, get the sources 
and build a compiler.  Actually, I'll go ahead and do that unless someone else 
has done it or is doing it.  It'd be nice to have a DOS cross-compiler, 
though, anyone know if there is one out there?

What is the chance of getting an etched version of your CPU board.  I hate 
wire wrapping, but I'd be willing to pay a few dollars to get an etched board.
I know getting small batches of PC boards is a FAQ on sci.electronics,I'll 
have a look and see if I can get any info.  If anyone else here has 
connections for getting etching done, please speak up.
