Does this work the same as that nifty little program that you wrote some
years back, Kyle? What was the name of it again (I used it for so long, I
don't know how I forgot, K6Speed, or something like that)?
Man I had a lot of fun using that on my old K63 500+ chip, although it was a
bit awkward for the wife. I might consider trying something like that again,
if I knew the author of the program to be thorough. Did you write this one
as well?
