What about the time it takes just to find out that this QuickPak Pro thing
is or who has it (what, do they advertise on the evening news or something?)
what about the time to install it or use it or whatever?

By the way, I have a complete Western Digital motherboard manual that
details all of the bios / Dos calls (like the mouse thing), and I can
program in assembler, but I decided to check out the com port data to 
see if I could make sense of the data, and I lucked out.
