Just wanted to say that I for one really like updates - it's one of the
best things about the Internet, too be "on the bleeding edge" with hardware
drivers and software updates. I think Fargo II is *great*, as I now can
program my own ROM 2.1 calc instead of borrowing a 1.x or using Tiger.

BTW, can't wait for that feature list to be implemented ;~)

In all honesty, the jump from 0.2.2 to 0.2.3 took me almost a day, but then
I used direct adresses in dc.w statements :-)... took a while to go around
that, but it gave me some new optimization ideas.


And now for some commersials: TINX v2.00a10 was just uploaded to my
homepage. It should now work properly on 1.x calcs, but I need feedback.
Feel free to check it out, folks.
