Hi James, you're welcome to try me again when you have $50 ;) How far away
are you anyway? I will be in Sudbury this weekend, and I often go to
kitchener waterloo area... as for the rs232... I made it from plans I found
in a text file... it can definatly be reproduced...its a nasty point to
point wireing job I did when I was 16 or 17 or something... it works fine,
but real ugly.

Sounds like a good setup, some of the accessories look interesting like
the rs232 if it could be reproduced and the
connectors. My problem is I'm waaaaaay outta town and cant even afford
$50 at the moment anyways
