    PH> Cool, thanks for sharing Darryl. I may yet pick your brains a bit (if   
    PH> that's ok) as I try and set up a test system on the Pi.   
      
   I've been working on it a bunch more.  I'm having some issues getting doors   
   to work.  Unlike dosemu, 8086tiny does not redirect com ports to a virtual   
   port.  This may, or may not be a problem.  I cannot get lord to run, whether   
   using BNU fossil, or strait non-fossil setup.  It will flash the intro   
   screen, then dump me off.  I haven't figured out why yet.
