From: Jonathan Bromley on 27 Dec 2009 05:12 hi folks, I have a very elderly Nallatech Strathnuey board that I might try to get going if I have e few spare hours.

From: John Adair on 27 Dec 2009 06:53 I hadn't looked at their webste for a while but looks like they have basically dropped anything that was a old product prior to their takeover by Interconnect.

I used to look at the Strathnuey because it was a competing product and even when it was a "current" board they made it hard to get information without a full sales engagement.

Hmmm.
