single

it

| exchange for helping me make it work.

| Note that in my comments about this, this is a state machine... that's
| probably not an issue as far as usage or bandwidth, but it probably
couldn't
| go home and you probably wouldn't want to put personal money/parts into it
| (at least not if you wanted them back).
|
| It's a long shot... but I hate to just let this thing rot if it can be
| brought back to life.
