Thank you Brad. Every little bit helps.  :o)

: like most of my ideas ..it had already been done...

Yes, and as far as I know, no one else has had any info.
I guess I'm the only one who has tried this, or has had any success.

: thanks for the support on stuff..and as a side note...not sure i should
: mention the type of card here you prob get bugged alot on projects..but
how
: is that project with the card i sent you working out?

Slowly, Brad. It's a little more complex than it looks at a glance.
Or, like many Apple II devices, there is just junk on there it really
doesn't need. Lately the problem has been funds. The new store has me
quite drained, but several new ventures are bringing in the working
capitol (capital?). Never know which it is.  LOL

: on that mystery note to those reading this i'll move on
:
: thanks for the site and keep making toys...(my ability to keep up in
buying
: said toys is somewhat in question however)

Ram chips, eproms, cables, PSU's, call that new toys?  LOL
Well, Henry is trying at least. I give him credit for that.
He's a good guy, and working hard. I love the guy.
