As I see it, there are several issues:
   - No useful documentation! Not even a description of the output file 
format.
   - Software is a binary blob, like everything the SPS have ever 
released. They "intend" to release the sources, but I'm not holding my 
breath.
   - No I/O buffering. Wiring a TTL or CMOS I/O straight to a floppy 
drive usually doesn't work very well. Moreso if your I/Os are 0V/3.3V 
LVTTL or LVCMOS instead of 0V/5V TTL/CMOS. Voice of painful experience 
here...

It's nice, and its release can only be a good thing. What I'd like to 
see is the price tag...
