Thanks for the encouragement. Back when I was less gray I used to fiddle 
with C:\debug and poke around in 80286 BIOS code. I made a cool little 
Bio Feedback gadget by copying and rewriting the game port adapter code, 
then hooking my nifty little unregistered, non-integrating RVT 
(Resistance Voltage Time domain) AD converter to a couple of nickels 
soldered to wires. QBASIC provided a running graph and I was off to the 
races. It would even pick up my heartbeat as it slowly shocked me with 
12v. So, could one do the same in this situation,  or is a multi meg 
bios too daunting a prospect for poking around these days. It's been a 
long, long time for me (1992).

Since there are possible legal issues with contacting the MFG I'll wait 
a spell and see what else comes up.
-Tom
