[rescue] microcontroller stuff

[Ken Hansen]

I believe the board they sell ($100 kit) includes some amount of
analog/digital I/O - switches, temp, etc...

IIRC (I can't/won't download acrobat over a 24K dialup line!), the
siteplayer module is just a webserver, the development kit has the I/O
on the "motherboard".
