Thanks! Too late to try it today, but first thing tomorrow..

It seems like every time you answer one of my queries, I smack my forehead
and say 'That's an excellent idea! Why didn't _I_ think of that!?!?' :-)

I'm not familiar, so thanks for the tip. Wonder where I'll find one if that's
what's bad... :-)

Since it's a tri-state, I may need to hit the enable somehow. Oh, wait, I
see, it's hard-wired on via a pull-down. (I wonder why they needed a
pull-down? And I wonder what the test point is there for?) And I guess I need
like a 5K series pull-up resistor to +5, right? (Ground I can just tie
directly, right?)

Anyway, thanks again for the help - very, very useful.
