Oh, I don't know . You see the gus pnp code was developed on this boxed and the changes where sent to Hannu and some of you got to use what I develop for the gus pnp. Last but not least I use my GUS PnP every day. So whats next? Develop a plan to clean up the driver. And if we fall into the Luigi syndrome: no "interest+time+ability" I guess it will be cool gus pnp support 8) Cheers, Amancio
