He does not have the cart cases yet, but says he's put a deposit down for the custom molds at a local plastics manufacturer and should have a ready supply sometime in the near future.
I'm sure INL will respond to this thread shortly with all the details
He's a regular here and has done a lot to help and support the community. I own the aforementioned programmer and flash-able carts, and they work a treat. I even offer limited Linux software support for them
Sounds pretty interesting...... Maybe I should check that out.
