ER1 (evolution.com) support/downloads? Arcadefreaque 06-05-2006

I recently purchased an ER1 (simple robotics kit from evolution.com)
from an online source. I had previously contacted Evolutions support
and they told me that the public community was discontinued with the
product, but they still had limited support for registered users (or
something like that). Now that I am trying to register, they say that
they have no support forums, and the registration process doesn't even
work. Of course they have lots of useless links that don't work on
their site, leading me to believe that there would have been some
available information.

My question is, is there any place that still hosts current community
support for the ER1? I'm interested in seeing what people are doing
with their equipment, as well as downloading/testing/modifying scripts
and 3rd party apps/etc for the ER1 hardware (more as a jumpstart to
getting my own setup running the way I want without totally reinventing
the wheel).

Thanks for any direction/downloads/advice/etc that you all might be
able to provide in my quest for ER1 fun.

Here are 2 pages from their forum that I save long ago - perhaps it
will be of some limited help:
http://www.waycoolgear.com/er1/ER1AdvancedConfig.htm
http://www.waycoolgear.com/er1/ER1PatchCmdline.htm

It would make a nice project for someone to gather all of the saved
pages from former ER1 owners ( I can't be only one ) and publish
them on the net ! I think I will start a thread on here to that
effect !

Hope that helps !
