Just noticed these today on the main forum page... Is this new, or did I just miss it?

The look like just a prettier version of Quickstart...

Actually, if they left off the bottom part, you'd think they might sell as well as Quickstart...

    Plus IR transmitter, IR receiver, VGA and PS2 ports (bagged, not installed).

    You have a saw for cutting off the bottom part. There should be about 1,000 of these for sale by the DEF CON organizers in a few days if you want one.

    I got the chance to hold one of these.. briefly.. I can confirm their awesomeness. Looking forward to purchasing one of these! Thanks Ken!

    Are these open source boards?
    Any documentation (like schematics?)

    From the dates on the posts that was while we were closing on the house and moving (repeatedly).
    I just plain missed that thread (probably cuz I couldn't go...)

    The POV hack was way cool!

    Interesting... I thought Parallax designed and built the boards, but maybe they just assembled them...
    The layout reminds me of Quickstart, but maybe that's where Ryan started...
    I like having the VGA mouse and keyboard on a little board like that though... Also like the different colors...
