67F687 chip

[Sandy]

Yep, they can get them, I would expect that what they have is about it. I have
talked to the engineers a while back at SSI, it they were dissapointed to say,
yep it is dead. Just what is out in stock. This is something that I though of,
but I thing has been better replaced by the 332 stuff. The only drawback to
the
332 stuff is that it aint' close. The 687 is very cool, I have a buch of the
plans for the eval board, and it is driven off a 68hc11, and that will drive
ignition as well as injection SFI style. To do anything besides waste spark on
V8 is a pain, but hey, that is OK. I always wondered what it would take to buy
the design and remarket it, but that would require some $$ and a place to sell
them. I even have the schematics in Tango I think.
