Hi Huw,

That totally read wrong, and I apologize for that.  You're not the
only one that's given me feedback pointing out the way it reads.

I didn't mean to say that "the list" wasn't responding, I was actually
referring to specific people who I emailed directly that I thought had
entered into a discussion about the matter.

That "fellow enthusiasts" crack was very limited in focus to
someone's who must've been interested in this stuff at some time
in the past in order to get information they have in the first place.
But I guess it's old news now, or common knowledge, or I'm not
smart enough to figure out yet, or for whatever reason isn't
something enough to discuss at the present time.  I'm just
frustrated and discouraged.  Sorry for the outburst.

As for your last suggestion, and thank you very much for that btw,
Taka pointed me in a direction I should have gone by now.  I will be
stopping by a bookstore to pick up the Bosch EFI book to read like
I did the Max. Boost one.  I just needed to get pointing in the right
direction, or maybe get some direction.

I just wasn't thinking that kind of timeline (buy a book and read it)
for this issue/obstacle/stage of the project (don't know what I was
thinking, just getting impatient) and an email I got from the Linkplus
vendor recently made me anxious about it all.

I guess I feel better, and I may just forward what I know about the
stock hall output to the vendor, and start the ball rolling.  If I screw
up and have to reprogram the inputs, it's apparently a $125 or so.  I
don't anticipate it being a problem, but then?

I'll do a follow up call to ensure the meaning of the email I received
from the vendor, and then get the book and go from there.  I need
the book anyways, just didn't think "next" until now.

Thanks everyone!

Ken
