The link can be found here with circuit diagrams and pictures of the finished product. The kit can also be bought, but not from that page; another company is manufacturing it in Japan. The board seems quite easy to manufacture. "

    "Oh, YARC (Yet Another Rio Clone)."

    "Oh, I can get a Rio for the same amount."

    Pah. A pox on you and your like. Whatever happened to pure HACK VALUE? Sorry, but building the equivalent of a commercial machine for fun is neat, fun, and educational.

    Go buy your little Rio and leave the real hackers be.
