610 USB Keyer:
Available Q1 2009. With a couple of minor board corrections, hardware is complete. OnePlug needs code added to support. Parts to be ordered for initial production at end of October, first build likely in Jan 2009, subject to change due to building RX-331 and RX-400. Retail price should come in under $200. Will start taking orders after the initial build has begun. (10/13/2008)
