Thats about the right age. Anyway, it built and apparently runs well enough without any thing hooked to the 5i25, sailing on by that part of the startup and running into the first instance in my hal file of a pin that is not there without a 7i76 plugged in before it bails out. So I think I'm close enough to go connect it to the machine for a smoke test tomorrow. But I've had company helping me sort her stuff for the last 2 days, and thats about got me to call the guy with needles full of knee grease for a couple shots, if he can squeeze me in Monday. Kinda hard to get around, can't make up my mind which hurts worse. Been about 4, maybe 4 years since the last ones, so I've actually done well since its normally done at 6 month intervals. Side effects of 86 years I guess. Take care and stay well, Jon & thanks a bunch. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
