I didn't think that far ahead. I don't have an X-Box but there is a possibility that there would be some unused I/O pins on the processor, but on the other hand, the processor is probably a BGA and the "pins" aren't brought out where one could get at them. Also, Steve reminded me of the Microsoft connection, which really kills the party. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
