Actually OM was about to EE a device codename GTA04(I) maybe 12months ago, then when it became obvious it's some duty and some time to finish the task of creating a whole new better design, OM downgraded to GTA03(II) which was meant to be a very cautious improvement based on GTA02. (Later Steve and I started work on a different GTA04(II), but that's a completely different story) Anyway we kept the case (ID) of GTA04(I) for GTA03(II). Eventually it came down out of blue sky to whole OM EE stuff GTA03 is now using 6410<br>
instead of 2442. We restarted development again. We kept the ID.<br>
Around 2008Dec there were first (semi)working prototypes(!), but they had some minor difficulties with stacking of all the antennae. This made ME (Tully) suggest a minimal change in ID. We kept ID, we kicked WLAN, GPS... dunno what else instead. We restarted EE.<br>

<div>I think the next GT0X should be a book about the last 10 designs. It sounds interesting, and could sell well. :P</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
I'm really puzzled why we (OM that is) don't just publish the schem as of 2008DEC (before crippling) and start our discussion from there, instead of thinking about doing the whole job (and same mistakes) once again. It wasn't a big deal to finally get out GTA02 schem, once OM made up their mind. I could do same job for GTA03 schematics as well, wouldn't even need to visit TPE this time.<br>
