Boot Loader for 3P+S on IMSAI

Took a little digging but I found the thread where you were talking
about port 20/21.  I was able to configure the 3P+S card and run the
test from the solivant site successfully, but I'm not able to upload
basic.  I have a couple more things to try, including setting a small
upload delay as Bill suggests on his page.

However, I'm thinking that I may still have a configuration issue on
the 3P+S card.  But I think I'm getting close.
