- The actual box exists and there has been a preliminary production run of
- the device that the radiology dept at Washington Hospital. I've been busy
- with other matters and the holidays, but hold on for a couple more weeks.
- HSD may sell the device which currently supports Sanyo handsets and
- footpedals off the shelf as well as other devices. For Wash we used
- Lanier handsets (that require a cable-end modification) and it worked
- great.
-
- If you'ld like more information, you can ask me directly (expect a 3-4 day
- turnaround back to you) or watch .announce for a product announcement.
