This brought back some good memories for me. (I mean the post only). My final year project at engineering was (an attempt) to build an EEG machine (design). I was not much of a hardware guy, and did it as a last chance (at least for a while) to learn a bit more. The other option in my mind was to may write a RTOS or something but i thought that can happen any time later as well.

Joerg Hansmann (the leading hacker behind this hardware design) was simply awesome and very helpful with sharing his knowledge about the circuit design. (This was late 2001). It was actually the first time i realized the true worth of open source communities, and their role in sharing of knowledge and information.

Thanks geius for posting this, i ought to contribute back to this community for sure, in one way or the other.
