I would much prefer to offer a fellow enthusiast $20 to provide a programmed chip then get involved with Windows (even if it would open the opportunity for Lady Heather...humm). I get too much exposure to it at work to be willing to bring such suffering home. Sadly, I cannot use my work machines for anything along these lines or this would be easy. I do have a DOS machine...an LX200.
