        This is the same I did. Just left the crystal connected. I haven't still=
 put it working, but I hope I can get it working tomorrow (today is day of=
 net gamming at my house, some 10 computers connected in a 100 MBit=
 ethernet network, playing Unreal Tournament, hehhe), and finish this=

        Parallel port IS the way to go, but every type of connection has it's use,=
 even the serial port ;o)
