I was just diging through a pile of old papers, and I found my omnikey
manualy.. with full circut diagrams.. and some programming info.
amazingly enough, I had to repair one of my omni-key's once.. and i had to
use the circut diagram to re-wire a broken circut trace that had gone bad.
Thank You,
Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net)
