I came across this data in the products preview section of Business &
Commercial Aviation
Magazine, January 2002 for those interested.

" The FlightOp 200 is the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) that
the experimental aircraft market has been waiting for. A large, 10.4 or 8.4
inch liquid-crystal sunlight-readable, color display and an intuitive pilot
interface will allow every pilot to begin using the system's powerful
features immediately. The display unit is driven by a powerful computing
unit, housed in a separate enclosure to allow for mounting in a dedicated
avionics bay, or within the cabin. The low-profile display platform requires
less than 2 inches behind the instrument panel.

Keeping the experimental pilot in mind, the need for a separate GPS receiver
is eliminated by including a 12-channel GPS receiver in the computing unit.
Engine instrumentation is driven by up to 16 analog sensor inputs that can
be customized to an individual installation.

To facilitate product upgrades, and future navigation display upgrades, an
external CD-ROM is included with the FlightOp 200 system. This CD-ROM also
allows for more flexible mounting options to fit the needs of a variety of
cockpit configurations."

Prices quoted are $9600 for the 10.4" and $9500 for the 8.4" display, but
excludes the Attitude Heading Reference System
(AHRS), of which the Crossbow or Watson Industries units it is compatible
with according to the preview.

The company is called Op Technologies. Data is at web site
