OK, guys I appologize for taking so long. Was not aware there was this thread going on and have been busy on other peoples stuff with the occasional look at Andrews idea and ponder.
Well, for all you chomping at the bit I have officially started on the adapter today and have it disected, programmed and the test one half way finished. Hope to be done tomorrow if doo doo does not happen.
Hang in there just a wee bit longer it'll be worth it
