Thanks for the code for the 8 -> 4 bit conversion, it works wonderfully for what I need. All I am doing at this point is displaying my own startup graphic alongside a startup sound. (I still like the empeg and Tux logo too much to replace it in the kernel).

I'm finding myself rather rusty in real programming unfortunatly. Hopefully I can get better by the time the Mark 2 comes out, and still remember the sudo C programming for PHP3, and remember Javascript correctly :-)
