Richard,
I've got a gold box Efis One with BMA autopilot. Is that the same serial ports? I didn't build this airplane so I don't know all the details of the system. All I know is that it works, I fly with it and when it croaks, I'll have to replace the whole setup. So I don't know if I can help with photos of the insides.

I have a BMA EFIS/One G3 gold box. My plane is to the point where I have started checking out the avionics interconnections. I have the EFIS connected to my SL30 and to my Trutrak autopilot. The Trutrak was not communicating so I opened the EFIS/One up to take a look. I discovered that the additional serial ports, one of which is connected to the Trutrak and which I assumed were a standard part of the EFIS/One, are not there. Contacting "alumni" from BMA indicates that the serial ports were an option - which I didn't request since I didn't know they were optional.
In any case, the ports were on a standard PC104 quad serial port board which I could easily add to my system if I only knew what board it was and what settings on the board.
So far no one with any involvement with BMA has been able to help me identify the board.
So my questions are:
Is there any one who has an EFIS/One G3 with the serial port option that could open their box and either take a picture of each side of the top (approx 3.5"x3.5") board or let me know of any manufacturing numbers on the board?
Or, is there anyone with this EFIS that has the serial ports, is not using the extra serial ports (ports 2-5) and would be interested in selling me the serial port board? Or, if the price is right, the entire G3.
And for those of you who are not aware, there is someone on the BMA forums that is currently working to get regular chart updates going again (with Greg's blessing). The plan is for them to be even cheaper than when BMA was supplying them since the charts will be generated directly from the feds database, rather than through Jeppeson as a middleman. Not that the difference in cost is really a big deal if charts are available again!
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Dick,
I have a gold box EFIS/1 that was upgraded with 1 GB flash memory and the Analog 3 mods, but I only had it partially installed in my project when BMA went TU. I also have the autopilot servos and controllers, as well as all of the uncut wiring harnesses for Analog 1-3 and the engine. I even have a bunch os engine sensors. I won't be home for a few days, but could take the pictures later this week. I was just getting ready to advertise this system for sale (as a package) for $2900 OBO.

One of the guys at Dynon tells me they have lots of BMA gold boxes sitting
around from their trade-in program. I don't know what they intend to do with
them but maybe they could be induced to sell some parts. Of course the
purpose of their trade-in program is to get us to switch from BMA to Dynon.
