I'm in the process of scanning in the page(s) which cover this
problem.  There are four (4) pages and they're not all that
well printed in the first place.  Additionally, it includes
a drawing of the DIGITAL BOARD with numeric references to which
of the holes are which.. you won't be able to do ANYTHING if you
don't know which hole controls which problem.

Anyway, I should have one or more .JPG (maybe .GIF since it's
all B&W) files ready to release later today.  If Bill, W4NA,
will permit, I'll dump them to his FTP site (and directly to you)
for others to access as well.

Won't send anything, however, until I get it 'sanitized' a bit.
