and have landed. Me n Doug were googling about tonight for specs on
these, and the best we've come up with for implementation/testing is at:

http://www.dip.ee.uct.ac.za/~ahenric/oncorhtm.html

which is about some geezer's uni project to use one to build a GPS
device. The devices themselves are Motorola Encore GPS recievers - and
seem to run okay off 4.5 volts. (Initial tests will get response echo
back off the console, but not any GPS data, which is odd. More tweaking
needed on that)
