Humm, I've an x10 LM465 lamp module in my hand, I'll give that a try to 
see if heyu can control it when I get my usb tree rebuilt, heyu is one 
of the things not working with the new mobo yet, but I got some more 
usb2 breakout stuff in the mail today. But I need to be awake to install 
it, something I am not ATM, up too early for a horsepistol visit, they 
liked what they saw so I get a new aortic valve on the 17nth. ;-)
