Dick,
Not many people are still installing the elderly gold boxes. I know of one guy where I live who ripped out his old BMA equipment and switched to normal steam gauges. He may still have his old box, but I'll have to check with him. I'm on the road right now and don't have his email address. I can check with him when I get home. Let me know if you'd like me to check with him. I'm sure he'd be happy to part with it.

| Quote: | 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.
