Short answer is yes.  but the whole story will require quite a bit of 
information about what you have and want to do.  Contact offline, as 
this sort of thread could get very long.

and probably bore the hell out of people for quite a bit of it. I'll be 
glad to help you figure out what you have if that is why you are 
asking.  if you want to make a list for some project, I can probably 
help with that too.
