I was seriously considering replacing some of the BS2's I have (I have
a lot of 'em) with the ooPIC C but the price was a tad high (well not

about oEvent.

What is the raw I/O capacity (pins and type, i.e. A or D) of the chip?
Will you have better timing stuff? I use analog in and PWM out a lot.

(FWIW, I was one of the people that Scott called today. We had a good

have talked. I urged him to be a bit more up-front with the list which
he seems to have taken to heart.)
