Well, one of the reasons I posted that was to force myself to work on it :-).

After I get all the mod loading stuff squared away, I'm going to take a look
problems I'm having with the CIA B timer (which I using for timing).  There's
a problem having to do with the very high priority of CIA B timer interrupt
interrupting the serial.device's RBF interrupt, causing data loss at high
speeds w/ JR-Comm.  I'll either solve this with a software interrupt scheme,
or using Vblank which will detect video mode and use the appropriate timing
constant...

C'ya,
Jim
