    HPT & SCT Collaboration?

    That's an XCal2. There's been rumors running around that HPT may have collaborated, and/or sold. Any information on this?

    no it's not, hardware and the case are actually different (we use an off the shelf Pactec case). All of our hardware and boards are 100% designed in house. SCT use an external company to design their hardware and according to our sources their case is a custom job they had made (looks surprisingly like the Pactec case though).

    At SEMA they claimed we copied their firmware menu's and everything, claiming they had actually used the unit on our booth. Unfortunately all the demo units on display aren't even functional!! LOL

    Hope that clears it up!

    I went to McDonald's the other day, and I used an HPT interface to pay with my debit card. So I guess HPT was bought out by McDonald's...
