    Peter,

    Went to the site and selected the "SYNOP rev.C expansion board". This
    points to a broken link.

    You can build a pretty decent one for $50 or less from off-the-shelf parts.
    The BS2sx chip plugs into a socket on the board, and is powered with a
    12-volt gel-cell. I used the same voltage regulator as the super carrier
    board and has nice polarized plug-ins for all of the sensors, etc...

    Hello everyone,

    I already received a few responses regarding our SYNOP expansion board.
    For those interested, I've put an application note on our website
    http://www.boselectro.nl (click the link 'elektronische besturingen')
    that descripes the major application the board was created for:
    a pager and led panel interface for fire alarm systems.
    Currently I am working on the second major application for this board:
    a timescheduled door monitor system with pager and led panel interface.

    Some of the responses asked about the prices for this board.
    This information is not available yet, as the price greatly depends on
    the number of boards manufactured. This is why I posted the message.
    To find out how many boards we must manufacture, using the number
    of responses as a guideline. As soon as this information is available,
    I will post a message on the stamp list.

    For now, keep those responses getting in.
