Richard, the new motherboard is because of the upgrade to the Braillenote. the old motherboard doesn't have the slot in back of the unit. I have such a unit. I call it the BN classic. that upgrade alone is $13,95 I hear. now, richard, how many beers have you had last evening? You know this is not a forum to discuss women! <grin> Watch how many beers you drink infuture, please! I'd hate to see what you'd write with just one more! <wicked grin> Isaac
