>>What is setup and calibration of the device like? 

Windows Control Panel, Game Controllers, Click on Optigun and select Calibrate.

>>How accurate is the board?

Good enough to be used in several arcade products already.

>>Is there a possibility of releasing a cheaper option?

Yes, possibly a non arcade version with no amplifier.

>>Is there a possibility of donating one to a trusted member, publication, or member in the community for review?

Not at this time, but in the future for sure.

Well I had seen David Foley's name mentioned in previous threads in a reference to some scandalous history, but I don't know much of anything about the whole ordeal. 

I knew he is a member here at the very least, but I didn't know he was linked to this product (or that he was who the email was going to, or else I would have just PM'd)......I definitely would have written the email differently had I known the creator was already a member of the forum I was trying to pimp!  ;)

I have mentioned on here before that if we were ever to produce a light gun it would  not be based on the obsolete technology used in standard arcade optical guns.

I'm really curious on how good Dave Foley's come out.  I believe the sonic ones are what most arcades currently have. 

I looked at some of the technology and thought someone could do a cool ultra violet light one (put 4 sensors, and have one in each corner of a monitor or something and get the location based on that).   Then I started thinking... the sensors should be in the monitor itself... one in each corner (or whatever) and then you could have a wireless version so you have one extra led that works closer to a remote control, ie, it has a wide range.  Anyway, you would need different frequency for each gun, different sensors for each....

But I think the sound works the same way.  So there is some real possiblities... if the price could stay low.

But 200 bucks if it handled two guns and worked without flashes would be worth it... for some...  I've spent more on arcade parts that work with less games then a good gun system.  And if you add all the guns purchased that didn't really work... I'm probably in that range now... (act gun system, act labs usb x2, those lcd ones everyone has x2...)
