Chris & all, Just to close the loop... It works perfect. It took me a while to figure out what you meant by typing a custom name in the combo box - but I now see its just that. Type a name in the smart serial's pin 'box' that normally says 'unused input' and PNCConf will tie the mesa input to that signal, Cool! Thats so simple and obvious after the fact;)
