I think you've mixed me up with someone else.  I was never out in Ohio.  Joel 
flew out here to Burlington, Vermont for a few days and we worked on it here.

Much as I'd like to take credit for the on-board firmware, I was not the 
person who did that.  I was involved only with the Softcard and Applicard CP/M 
drivers and setup utilities.  A fair amount of work, but not on the scale of 
the on-board stuff :-).
