I have become the said hermit along with many others!

YES, you should post what you have, John Gwynne has an _approved_ ftp site
for EFI related projects. I just dropped off v0.00001 of what I have been
working on. Any other input would be great! I have yet to start worrying
about the software, this will come on its own! I have some documents on the
PC interface, but that is about it. You should take a look at what I have
completed, it currently is on the ftp://efi332.eng.ohio-state.edu/pub
somewhere, possibly still in the 'incoming' directory if John has not moved
it yet. The file name is EFI0000.zip or something close to that.

I do like the adaptive concept, and that will require much more work, but if
we can get something that at least is useable, then everyone with a PC could
start to hack their own version of the IDEAL control software.
