Purchase in United States?

Hi, I live in the U.S.A.. I looked into possibly buying an OSTC 3 or OSTC 4 computer a year or so ago and was told that HW does not sell them in the U.S., so there was no way for me to get one short of traveling to Canada or Europe to buy one.

Battery longevity and changing?

When the battery has eventually lost enough capacity to need to be replaced, is this something an end user can accomplish? Or can the battery only be replace...

OSTC3 firmware on OSTC Sport?

Hi, I am brand new to this forum and know very little about HW computers. But, I am shopping for a new tech computer to use in conjunction with my H3. So far as I can tell, it looks like the OSTC Sport does not support Trimix. The OSTC 3 does, but it also has a fiber optic connector that I would hav...
