SANTA ANA, Calif., - December 4, 2001 - REDSonic, Inc., a leader in real-time
Linux tools and solutions for the embedded market, today announced its

solutions with reduced development and run-time costs," said Bruce Boyer,

RED-Builder, is a strong integration into JUMPtec Adastra's PC/104 SBC
product line and will provide developers with an advanced, easy-to-use,
GUI-based target configuration tool."
