Subject: Using a Beeb for engine monitoring

  I built a fuel and performance computer for a car over 15 years ago, 
it used a 6809 SBC and interfaced to a couple of sensors that were 
standard on Fords at the time.
A fuel flow sensor and a speedo sensor, both gave pulsed outputs.
Got it all working and then bought a car with one built in !
So it should be possible on Beeb hardware.
