| Subject: | Help with an BMA EFIS/One question |
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.

No one on the list now probably knows me, so I thought I would
introduce myself. My name is Sam Staton, and I live in Jacksonville,
FL. I'm a reluctant Floridian - this is where I washed up on the
beach when I retired from the US Navy - ETC(SS) (RET). The main
reason for this post is due to the fact that, as of today, I am no
longer merely a dreamer. I took possession of my RV7 tail kit today,
so the adventure is officially begun. Still have some workshop
arrangement issues to work out, but it has started!

Welcome aboard Sam. I was there in November 2003 when I started my RV
7A (Palm Bay, FL).

Dear Harrell,
Welcome and have lots of fun with this. You will get tired of answering the one
question:
"When do you plan on finishing it?" I just tell everyone a year. I've been
telling them that
for about three years now. Enjoy,
John Brunke
RV7 tipup in progress.

Sam -
Welcome to the fraternity. There will be times when the smile you now have
on your face will twist and turn, but as you complete each section it will
grow larger until your first flight when the famous "RV Grin" will appear.
