Called SAH and they said it was backordered until the 14th. Don't know if that means they ran out or that they are not out. Jason F. (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

As stated it is not directly Lego related. (I'm using a PC104 platform; I just remembered the Laser discussion earlier.) I prototype In Lego. Just wondering since people on this maillist are from very diverse backgrounds. This seemed as a good a (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

The rules are pretty simple: This is a G1, G2, SOLD auction with advances occuring approximately every 24 (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Has anyone come up with an electronic solution to the problem of only having 3 out ports? It seems it would be possible to control many more motors if some sort of a multiplexor was constructed, maybe the motors could use their own power supplies (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
