There isn't one, unfortunately -- no projected price yet, and it's not on our production schedule to build at present.

We've seen it in action -- it does look very neat -- but it still needs some ironing out and not much testing has been done as of yet.

You mention the Omni VII and Orion II as possible recipients for the "new"
sweep board.  Does this mean the Orion 565 owners are out of luck?

Yes, it does, unfortunately. When we came up with the idea for the sweep board, it wasn't for the Orion II -- it was for the Omni-VII. We were in the middle of the design cycle on the Omni-VII in early 2005 when we decided to change models to the Orion II, and the capability to use the new Omni-VII sweep board was also added to the logic system of the newer version of the Orion. It can't be retrofitted to the original version of the Orion.
