[Coco] CoCo Wireless RS-232 Pak

[Mark Marlette]

Roger,

I don't need schematics or a PWB. I have over $10k invested in tools to assist in that function, I draw my own schematics and layout my own boards. I'll admit that I don't etch my own boards as there is no way to compete or even pull off the dimensions that I use.

Anyone that buys our products knows that the schematics are included with our products.

Come to think of it even the RS232 pak will work in all CoCos and MPIs.

I live this stuff so it is not hard for me to figure out what you used. I work and play in the field. 

You must have received a module that didn't have any print on it? ;)

I am guilty of asking a question I already knew the answer to, my educated guess. If you call that baiting, then guilty as charged. I'll refrain from trying to talk technical hardware with you since you are the "software guy".

Regards,

Mark

No offense at all.  However, you're baiting me in the worst way and 
it's just too obvious.

So.... here's your goods.  Yes indeed, in the current model I'm using 
a wonderful A7 eb301 module which works perfect all through the house 
through walls and closed doors.  There's no mysteries here.

Want the schematics and pcb layout, do ya?

Give me all ya got, Mark.  :)
