I uploaded my Cyclone v1.0 firmware into the group files some time ago. I recently 
dumped the one from my Systemizer... I just need to motivate myself to crimp a new 
ethernet cable so I can get that machine online and upload it. Maybe this weekend? I use a 
Willem EPROM burner and an old Dell workstation for this stuff.

Sounds good, please contact me off list via email.

Very true! One gracious member of this list has offered to scan the Systemizer manual, 
more info as it comes. I hope to eventually understand these boxes inside and out, and 
realize some embedded coding chops for making similar tools - with real user interfaces! 
When I get some LCDs to play with I am definately going to try hooking one up to my 
Cyclone.
