   Hey, I never said it was gonna be easy!

Seriously - on a microcontroller circuit, if the chip types are
known, the pinouts pretty much nail down the wiring for at least
80%. With a really serious effort, it is possible to get most of
it. Two people doing it seperately then comparing notes works
better than one would expect. Besides, the board is unlikely to
be all that complicated. This really is a fairly simple
application - as computers go.

At least two folks have said they have done some or most of this,
therefore it must be more or less possible. I'm tied up for a
week or so, but I'll look closely at these two projects.
