Re: mini-milton gate outs

2008-06-04 by (i think you can figure that out)

Nope! (linking two together for 16 steps).  With the upcoming M34
Switch Logic, or any other sequential switch for that matter you can
do that but on their own.. no.  Again, this is a bare-bones sequencing
function with voltage control of direction which you'll really get use
out of.  You don't realize it until it's there.

It will run about $300 or so, somewhere in this range.  As always,
less if I can do it. As far as ETA all I can say is before the Fall. 
I don't mean to be evasive, but my whole life right now is about the
ELFs.  Once they're released, then I begin the final preps on the
other ones. Got our hands full though with the first phase.
