Hi Peter

As a side note, there are alternatives to using an STG card. Jon Elson's 
paralll port interface is one. Currently working on a driver for another 
commercial board that may soon be available at a lower cost than the STG.
One advantage is the extra digital IO available - I will have a go at 
modifying bridgeportio to use the interface card instead of the printer port.

Regards, Paul.
