Without it, siocons wouldn't work and the Yaroze wouldn't know how to read your code. FMV was withheld from the libs to keep it a hobby system. The access card is read by the CIP program and it gives you the access to download files, but doesn't hold the key to the ram directly. CIP just searches the access card for the correct string (or whatever) and will continue running if it is read. Nathan
