Yeah!! rub it in!! I was feeling so darn stopid that I could not get it
to work. And I really wanted to enter the compo... (maybe do comming
back at that PC-thing)

I know, but you can't imagine how stupid I feel. I don't know anything
about coding and after the CW-bit I did not want to bug anybody again
with my errors.. I feel so stopid!

Believe me, I tried it all. And.. using PScomUtil forces me to do a full
PSX reset after every upload.

A second reason why I kept still is that I don't want to start the Mac
vs. PC again. I will ask Paul Harvey (~macpaul) as he is one of the big
Mac-Yarozes out here. I just think he won't be able to do anything yet
about it, since he's just about to become father for the 2nd time.
