John,

Will the PIC connect directly to the encoder on this board and output
RS232? Is there room for a few switch inputs? 

If so, this sounds like a good way to go to me. I'm sure RS232 will be
around for a few years anyway. If we go this way put me down for at 
least a couple of boards. Would it be simple enough to wirewrap on a
proto board if not enough folks want to buy the boards?  Anyone else
interested? Got a schematic?

Thanks,
Bill
