If forget which PEEKs exactly, but I'm sure you get that information. Assuming the SSC is in slot 2, PR#2 will send out any further output to the SSC, and IN#2 will get any further input from the SSC. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ jonrelay@napanet.net jrelay.cjb.net An Apple II fanatic since 1998!
