Hi Ed, 
Thanks for the reply. I am sorry if I am sounding a bit thick but I 
am not sure what you mean when you say " what have you rounded up 
for downloading"
If you mean what do I want to download, then it is some of the kits 
that other members have made.

I use a sony laptop so he sound card is not excelent, i do have a 25 
and a 9 pin socket.
Thanks for taking the time to have answered me.
Dave.
