I wish I could, but alas I only have one PC here, albeit on a small LAN, connected to the world by a portmapping link. A new machine is on my wish list. Maybe I will have to bring Christmas forward, or lean on a kindly friend to loan a machine... As to the underlying question, I think the system is still somewhat alive, since the disc active light flickers now and then. Tony
