Done, I'll see if my programmer can read it once my only working windows box

Hm. Nothing at all from the monitor and checking the voltage at 10 + 11 on
the iron lump shows nothing - I didn't check them over the weekend as they
only run the monitor and the other pins seemed ok at 18 and 8VAC.

Had that out earlier and it seems ok.
