Yes, when you see someone in the forums refering to a WRAP board, this is the one they are talking about.

When you see Lonnie and Tony talking about the board they are collecting money to have made, this is the board they are talking about.

This next test revision of the board is due any day now. We are very eager to begin testing. The really tough thing will be the 6 to 8 weeks after testing before we can get any decent volumes.

Oh well, might just have to work on the manual while I wait.
