Shane:
I fear that without proper focus (and possibly with) I'd mess this system up
something furious should I attempt to execute this. I do appreciate your
guidance and I'm sure others in the group did too.
I'm not messing with the system much due to time constraints (I'm off to
Road America to watch the superbikes for the weekend. 185Mph down the main,
blistering) as the latest revision (5.5.094.000) ZA is working well and
hasn't killed (locked up) anything yet.
Best Regards,
KB
