Roger,

Yes, I can get the file to my GS. Please be so kind as to e-mail it to
me. Thank you so much! davem@sisna.com

Bill,

Plugging in the card did no permanent damage. Another gentleman
e-mailed me and said that the card in question may not be compatable
with ROM3. I will test it on a ROM1 machine today to see what happens
and post the results.
