Strengths: does what it's supposed to do
Weakness: very little documentation
This is a very straightforward device, though the settings of the dipswitches recall the bad old days of modems and other long-forgotten peripheral tediums. For anyone with less than perfect eyesight, or large fingers, determining whether and where the switches have been moved can be quite challenging. But with a little trial and error, the result is satisfying.
