Thanks Patrick, I read that article and it was very enlightening. From
what you said I may have had a lot of difficulty doing what I wanted to do.
It's definitely a project. I reckon it took me several days to get it
all working (mostly in figuring out the low-level hardware stuff but
others might find this easier), with several tune-ups later on to improve performance.
