The target machine is initially a Sunbeam TurboToaster 112S, and you'll be pleased to know that I'm supporting the breadbun option right from the first beta. I anticipate having microwave support a few months later. Given the current lack of standardization in microwaves, it's likely to be a bumpy path, but I'll do my best. The web browser support will probably cause particular headaches. Which model do you plan to use?
