digifiz thoughts

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

its as easy as modifying the input from the speed sensor. a circuit can be
built to reduce the pulse train from the tranny sender such that it converts
from km/h to mph 'on the fly', before it even hits the digifiz. then the
digifiz will still show "km/h", but the odometer and speedometer will
actually be showing mph.

i have to wonder if there is a jumper on that circuit board for US specs, as
im sure they thought the digifiz could be sold in the USA eventually.
