I expect a handful of people will be deeply upset. Looks like I've 
missed the boat ;-)

"Emailer plus" and it's  monochrome. Type? I don't know.

Yes. I got the Arm7 code to print a line of text thanks to your input.  
Don't laugh but I left it there considering it a major victory but 
haven't had a chance to experiment further for at least two months now. 
First of all there was that website I was / still am working on.  
Secondly, my wonderful sister bought me a DataCenter from Retroclinic. 
:-) :-) :-)   Oh, time just whizzes by while messing about with that 
superb invention. With the two CF cards working side by side on modified 
ADFS poking &FC5x, rather than &FC4x this leaves the IDE port on the DC 
free. Free for what though? A hard disc perhaps?? Has anyone done it?
