Alpha Signs

It would seem that there is a lot of clamour about Alpha signs. Apparently there is more than one kind available (as I just got some free marketing material). I'll attempt to post any discoveries made pertaining to this hardware. Please feel free to submit information and ideas.
    Alpha Protocol Available -- It would seem our friends in Europe aren't as secretive about the protocol as the American counterparts! Thanks to "The Fox" for pointing me at AMS's web site in Europe http://www.ams-e.com/download/ where they published 97088061.doc (Word97 251k) for the world to see. Here's the same document in html. Please, grab and distribute far and wide.
