Hi mike, id like to find out how you get on with this setup, I've only just
seen this site and it falls well with in my budget, i'd be very interested
to find out how you set it up, the most daunting aspect seems to be setting
up the 8x8 grid, with what appears to be "magic" numbers plucked out of the
air, although i must admit i havent sat down and read all of the literature
completely from the website, im sure there is a scientific approach.  This
would appear to be the solution for my upcoming 90tq project, on a small
budget.
