 For quite a long time we tried to get out of
"scorpion people" information about the condition
cases in development  "GMX". 
how much work is apparently still
is far from complete, to the request to issue
technical documentation for the device, we
received this opus containing very
"dry" data without any comments -
riev.                                   
 To our question about at what stage
development in progress, received foggy
the answer is that the device is in a state
layout of the printed circuit board and undergoes testing
Verification for serial suitability.            
 So, this is what we have at this moment -
ment:                                   
                                        
All ports are write only
(port xxFF - reading).                   
Unused digits are not used -
