I've pinged him.

Relevant fact: Soarer has been disappeared for 7 years. In Great Britain where he was domiciled (and in the U.S. which inherited British common law) that is long enough for a declaratory judgment that he is legally dead.

I and countless others would be extremely interested in anything you may find here. Being able to hack on Soarer's Converter openly would provide an alternative to TMK and QMK, and allow those with said hardware to "help themselves" with bugs.

Soarer was on the verge of open sourcing his work.

Has anyone ever determined what became of Soarer? If so, I missed it.

Surely one of you corresponded with him or shipped a package and know what city or county he lived in.

We will soon have a brand new thread dedicated to the Search for Soarer and the ownership of his Converter and Controller. I’ll answer you there.

Now, back to making this script nightmarishly encyclopedic!
