Subj: REPLY TO MSG #121 (REPLY RE: M100 EXPANSION)

AHA!  I found that Portable 100 ad I was looking for.  You might also want to
check with EME to see how they did their OWL weather-logging system.  It writes
data to RAM or printer (which may not be adequate for your needs), but besides
the 7 input channels they've implemented 5 on-off outputs.  And "in powersaver
mode .... [t]he system wakes up [at] intervals to take readings, then goes back
to sleep."
 
It uses the serial port for an A/D converter, but if you're not using an A/D
converter then it might be available for your PDD ....
 
Hey, don't mind me.  I'm just in a creative mood!
