[Diy_efi] EEPROM based efi compter, DIY style.

[Steven P. Donegan]

For the moment I'll forego the home reflow system :-) There are enough
vendors out there (www.olimex.com) that will do that part of PCB
assembly for you too cheaply to even consider doing it yourself. I
expect my next project will be a megasquirt clone, using an LPC2106
(128K flash/64K RAM) with FreeRTOS as a real time multi-tasking OS :-) I
already have that part working on an Olimex prototype board - adding the
megasquirt equivalent I/O is actually the easy part.
