I now have 3 pair of glasses and I can see fine without any glasses at a
distance.  I still need my magnifing glass that is on a stand with aligator
clips to hold the PC board and a flashlight to see that tiny switch.

I don't remember.  I used a diskette.  Or possibly Win98.  I tried several
ways that all failed until I found that switch.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
