Cheers that's a great pointer, oh well time to get my hands dirty...

Indeed - I'll hopefully have some time to do this tomorrow. I have the
bcc archives to hand so can look at previous versions to brush up my
asm.

Just got nice shiny 8086 laptop - but without floppy/serial. It's an
Olivetti Quaderno, I may be able to use a flash pcmcia disk on it to get
elks onto it, but we'll see. Else it's going to be pinouts from usenet
and some soldering (eep)...
