I wouldn't agree. It's always fascinating to see this sort of development work described on the forum.

I have an RT Russell test card gen, for many years now, and it is a great piece of kit, but it is a few years old now. (I also have to Auroras, the 1st Gen multi standard and a later single standard model)

The ability to hold 16 pages of text is a great improvement, and I for one would be interested in one for this reason alone.

Alos as RS232 serial ports become scarcer, a USB interface (or even an IP) would be very beneficial!

How about publishing the board layout, providing the eprom images and
allowing others to build thir own units, if you don't want the trouble and expense of selling completed units or kits?

Certainly you shouldn't consider your work as a waste of time in any way!
