Hello All,



We are a small company that produces a rapid prototyping system for



8-bit embedded systems, particularly the Atmel AVR. We are looking for a few people to write some code and beta test a new prototype SD/MMC card reader module for our system, and I thought there might be some interested readers in this newsgroup. If you think you can do this, please visit our website at

, and follow the Beta Testers Wanted link for the full details. Anyone who successfully completes the code for the test will receive a free set of Modules, a free production version of the prototype when it becomes available, a 50% discount on a future Module purchase, the author's code posted on our site with their name on it, and first consideration for future beta test opportunities. There are a limited number of prototypes available, so we can only accept a small number of beta testers, but don't let that stop you from entering. If you have any questions regarding this offer, feel free to email us.

Thanks, Paul

You expect beta testers to spend at least $175 on your products so they can do all this work and then get a refund. Hmmmm.

Actually it is a $75 deposit, and the only reason we decided to do that is to make sure that the person doing the testing was serious about it. We just want to be sure the person isn't trying to get stuff for free without giving anything back. However, if you feel this policy is unfair, I'm willing to entertain some alternatives.

FlashFileSD from Progressive Resources is your best bet. I've already ported it to my M128 board. M2561 follows as soon as I can get samples.
