Good luck. Its a daunting task and you'll need a lot of lock.

20 years ago I invented an error correcting modem. At the time there were no real practical devices on the market. I created the design, programmed the microcode, wire-wrapped prototypes, and then hired engineering firms with real engineers to slick up my design a little and make it more stable.

In the end, the whole effort collapsed. Too much effort and money would have been needed, and I lost interest. I think about 4 years later companies like Hayes and U.S. Robotics started mass producing the same concept and made a killing off of it.
