Well..  Quite well.. I managed to get DVI output of Radeon to deliver 1600*1200 true color (is optimal to my monitor)  and have been helping others with their Catweasel controllers.

Have not done so much lately though. Having flu takes it's toll.  :-(

Just nitpicking, but it's so disturbing and I see it so often here,  
I have to mention it at some point. No offense.
 
"you're" means "you are". VERY ugly when put instead of "your"  ! (and in the same way, many use "it's" when it should really be "its"!)
 
Thank you for you time.

@ SlimJim

Kind of funny when a Swede is correcting an American about his English writing. :-o


@ JoannaK

takemehomegrandmas remedy: Scotch wiskey, lots of vitamin C and HUGE amount of sleep. Take care. Hope you gets better soon (I might be needing some guidance with a catweasel in a near future! ;-)).

@ takemehomegrandma

@ SlimJim

BTW: what is the meaning of "you time"? ;-)

hmmm, "alter Schwede!" (= "old Swede") as we Germans say  ;-)

ciao...

:-D Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!  What passes for grammar and spelling on here has been bugging me for ages, and I was beginning to think that I was the only one who noticed it!

;-) I was thinking of writing a tutorial on it, by the way....

@Ensu:

;-) "You gets" and "you time" are simple typographical errors for "You get" and "your time," respectively.

The occasional typo is only to be expected; we are all only human after all.  But a few of us butcher the language so much it almost seems to be deliberate.  And then there’s Mips_Proc’s meandering punctuation.…

@takemehomegrandma
I'll try those (well.. most likely having brandy instead of whiskey, though).    ;-)

It looks like quite a many people have already purchased Catweasel mk3:s for their pegasos systems. I hope Jens get those other drivers out soon. Sid player would be nice to have.

To keep the language at a proper level, remember:

 *  Never use a preposition to end a sentence with
 *  Don't use no double negatives
 *  Its important to use apostrophe's correctly
 *  Always re-read your writing to make sure you haven't missed any out
 *  Give slang the elbow
 *  The passive voice should never be used
 *  No sentence fragments
 *  Don't overuse exclamation marks!!!
 *  Have you used question marks when necessary
 *  Last but not least, avoid clichés like the plague

;-)
