I've taken to following the Sherwood R-972 thread at AVS in light of the platform relationship, and the R-972 remains MIA (although there have been hints of progress). The 997 will by necessity follow after the R-972 by at least a little time. That being said, I'd happily try a little after-hours recon of the Outlaw offices to see if I could find sample hardware, but you're closer...
