Re: Introducing TINI: Tiny InterNet Interface

["James Traynor" <james@xxxxxxx>]

I was thinking along the same lines but went for the TINI because it
had a built in network port,1 wire interface, lots of memory(I am
used to Basic stamps), its a pity it uses Java though I much prefer VB
( note: if you want to use a serial connection to your PC and plan on
using MScomm32 be warned it uses lots of processor time about 10-15%
on my machine<AMD K2 450> and thats just receiving a data stream not
transmiting). If you are looking for serial LCDs try
www.milinst.demon.co.uk they are the a UK supplier of the Parallax
products and quite a good range of LCD
