I have  been following this on the list for a while now and was curious 
if anyone  is actively working on a open source monitor.  I see the one 
made by  Adam VK4GHZ is no longer being sold.  This got me back on track 
for  wanting to make one of my own.

I have been using either tbmon or lady  heather but always have issues 
with a usb to serial converter when I start  the computer.  It will go 
haywire and cause it to freeze and make the  mouse malfunction.  Once I 
disconnect the converter (I have tried  other makes as well) it works 
fine.  Usually I can reconnect the  converter and things will work again.

What I would like to do is make a  2 or 4 line lcd readout to display 
various info.  I really liked  VK4GHZ's page type selector knob.  I can 
see that being very  useful.  On a youtube video by n6vmo said the 
thunderbolt used a  ASCII Hex and "needs to be converted by using 64 bit 
floating point  math".

So are any of you currently working on this or have decided to  quit and 
have any information to  share?
