    I was told yesterday by Electronics Unlimited of FTL which I use when our ISIS system need attention that the manufacturer RGM has shut down. The 85 year old owner apparently still tries to support the systems but out of his home and in a very limited way...

    Our system is still working but I wonder for how long.... they suggested switching to Maretron when ISIS no longer serviceable ... $20k Plus running the backbone .

    latest issue was a broken fiber optic cable luckily close to one of the box with enough slack to cut the bad part.

    Maretron seems to be coming out with some innovative products, but Bob Maretron is no spring chicken either and wonder how the company would survive in the same event. He worked on a yacht that had the WIN95 based maretron engine gauges what was maybe 10 years ago and a very knowledgable and nice guy. But I cursed that installation, as it was on a SF with a 3 sided enclosure and would have rather had analog gauges (back then).

    I would think either the phone or the email still work but I haven’t tried it.

    20k sounds cheap
