I'd like to do that, but I think there are a few more steps involved. Want to help out? Can you point me to a detailed HOWTO for doing this? I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can solder, I have basic programming skills, and I can probably lay hands on a ROM burner if needed. But it seems translating the output to USB is may also be an added challenging step ... Any help appreciated. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ [email protected] --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
