I don't agree with the first Paragraph (People ARE using the Miniboard 
to build robots, what else is this group for if not that?).

I was already intending to do this anyway, and now seems like a good
time.  I am starting a mailing list to discuss Robot controller boards
in general and Fred Martin & Randy Sargent's Miniboard and 6.270 board
in particular.

Here are the specifics:

Administrative address:	robot-board-request@oberon.com
Mailing list address:	robot-board@oberon.com

This list will discuss issues, ideas, hints, tips, etc. related to 
the design, construction, debugging, programming, etc. of Robot
controller boards in general.  Specifically, it will be a place for
Miniboard and 6.270 board enthusiasts and builders to exchange ideas,
programming tips, construction techniques, etc. and to get support
from those who may know how to solve their particular problems.

If you wish to join this list, please send E-mail to the
Administrative address listed above (robot-board-request@oberon.com)
with your name, E-mail address, and an obvious Subject: line.  (Like
'please add me to the robot-board mailing list').  

If you have anything that you would like sent to all the members of
the list , please send it to "robot-board@oberon.com".  

I will be preparing a standard reply to send to all members of the
mailing list, explaining the two different addresses, and welcoming
them to the list.  Please be patient, as I am doing this on my own
time, and may not reply until early next week.  (I am already swamped
with handling orders for the 6.270 boards).
