It looks like just a pressure probe, two pressure lines, one dead on
pitot-like, other a hole on the angle.  The two wires are the for the
heater.
The transducers and processor power would therefore be in the main
box.

The page doesn't run under Netscape (and hence AOL?); with IE5 after
the plug-in finally loads, and past the security warnings, just
unilluminating web pizzazz.  I hope the web designer and EFIS
programmer aren't one and same.  Not for IFR or insurance in VFR scud.
;-)

Tony, have you actually seen this EFIS demo'd somewhere?  For $1995
and the standard functions available, the math re component costs just
don't work, even at an unacceptable peformance/quality level.
