Charlie, Hi, how are you?,

Actually, the //e version with MouseTEXT is for a friend, and I will
more than likely desire both that, and the IIgs versions, however, I'm
using a ROM03 ATM, although I can get away with a ROM01 if I have to
in order to get the CB working in one. So, if you are anywhere close
to one or the other, I'd love to try them out.

And.......thank you for doing this. It's nice to see people actually
working on the CB card. And yes, I would love a source file that can
be used in Xilinx ISE 11.1.
