Mark,

Thanks for the great advice!  I wanted to give you a thought out answer 
to your question about my computer integration objectives.

First, you need to know that I write software for a living.  The 
computer part is a BIG deal to me.  My specialty is interfacing with 
control systems so I see the conversion as a platform for writing EV 
software.

I am NOT trying to write new controller logic or effect any of the 
safety systems.   I believe that a very simple controller interface is 
enough for my objective.  I'll probably use more GPS data than motor 
data.  I am most interested in providing useful UI for the driver, 
getting performance data, and learning how to improve the EV driving 
experience.
