I have a hardware development lab with a HP 4 channel digital oscilloscope, a 68HC05C8 emulator & a schematic capture / PCB board design CAD system. Fox Color & Light's WEB page is at http://www.coastalpost.com/fox I had a frontpage article about me in The San Jose Mercury News 12/20/97 and in The New York Times 12/23/97 and featured in December 1998's Playboy Magazine. Fox Color & Light has been developing WEB publishing software in VisualBasic for automated generation of on-line newspapers & magazines. An example of the autogenerated output of The Pacific Sun On-line is at: 0/11. I have also been developing WEB sites on a contract basis. CETI - Los Gatos, CA - 5/98 - 8/98 Developed chip design verification software in MIPS R3000 assembly for the next generation Philips cable set top boxes. Support Systems International - Richmond, CA - 3/97 - 6/97 Designed a keyboard/video/mouse doubler system so that 2 or more monitor stations could access one computer.
