I know that there is a program that does exactly that. I can't remember the
name, but I think it might have appeared in Start. I have seen it posted on
BBS's several places in the US. I assume it is possible to find over there.
If I see this driver loader I will download and send to Steve Grimm as well
as yourself. Might be a few days though. My phone bills have been pretty
atrocious.
