Hijacking oem hardware

[Sandy]

Why waste the effort, all we need is a LITTLE WORK to finish off the 332'
project and I will finish off the SMD single board version. I have most of
the design done (except for the injector drivers) and it will not be that
expensive, and, the key, all things will be know about it, circuit, parts,
software, etc. The ford controllers are nice, but the time it takes to
unravel all that needs to be know will take a bit of time. The I/O board
has been done for many months, and the A/D stuff seems to have been tested,
the one thing that remains is the Crank/Cam interface. So if you want to
spend some energy on that, we can get to the next step towards a lowcost
single board, that is not propritary, well, copyright maybe ;-)
