Thanks astro123, foursprings for putting the infos on Sourceforge.

My friend has the car I believe these were developed for, and we have found a few hardware mods necessary... Mostly the resistors are inadequate and need to be 1W+ and off the board 8) (probably add an LED too)

Anyway, I am going to need 28+spares of these soon, and looking at getting a digikey order over the threshold, but before I do, I figure I should ask if anyone is needing any boards fabbed, or has experience with who is good for doing it. Maybe a bulk order is better.
Also any feedback as to which parts are better etc, or maybe has an old order in csv that may speed things up 8)
I would much rather work with AVR due to my experience, for those who have played with the code does it look very PIC specific? Would it be a hard port to AVR C?

Does anyone have an approximate cost breakdown for master and cell

My friend apparently has the source for both top and bottom balancing if this is of any use.
Sorry if there are RTFM questions here 8)
