Finally got the proto board done for Tracy' display computer.
This is a first cut so after I get one or two I will build it up
and make sure everything works before I have some more made for you
guys that might want them.

The left side of the board, the part
that goes in the airplane, is about 6 by 6 inches.
This uses the 84 pin version of the PIC 17Cxxx processors which are
the most powerful PIC makes.

The lower left is the power supply section. the upper left is two 
RS232 interfaces for GPS and EFI system communication. these use the
the standard IBM PC 9 pin DB9 RS232 serial connector.

The right side of the board will be used for software development
only. Not needed in the airplane. There is a parallel port on there
for downloading software from a PC to the on board 64K of RAM.
This uses the 25 pin DB25 parallel port connector. 
You will saw this part off when you have the software developed.

I will be in Florida for a couple of days and after the PAMA show
is over in Tampa I will be going down to the Fort Lauderdale area
to see some rotary powered airplane that are in the works. I'll be 
contacting Bulent so check with him if you want to meet me there.
