So, anyone know anything about these? Web info seems *very* sparse. I
found one new. It appears to me to be a generic programmable serial
control panel for large machines. It's got RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485
input and outputs. It's got a four line display and a keypad. It powers
up and appears to work fine.

The web info I found shows a program called "GUS" for programming it, and
I'm gonna download it. But I guess I'm wondering if it can be custom
programmed, or if it only supports some goofy protocols. Anyone used one?

I also can't find any decent documention on programming, so any pointers
would be welcome. I'd be interested in using it for an interface to custom
microcontroller projects perhaps using a PIC or something. Yes, I know
this isn't really metalworking related, but I believe this device *is* used
in large metalworking machinery. I gladly welcome corrections on that,
though, as I'm not completely sure.
