  Hi!  I don't have any suggestions for your problem, but I just have to
speak up about the Elf.  It's great that you did this. :-)  I have
designed a few Elf variants (one with TTL, one with no displays in a
very small board, etc) with gschem/PCB over the years.  I haven't gotten
around to actually building any due to time constraints, paying work
etc...familiar story I'm sure.  But I have a Spare Time Gizmos Elf2K in
a nice full-blown configuration.  They're really fun little systems,
especially with a CF card and ElfOS.

  I think a lot of folks here would enjoy these machines, especially
fans of minimalism.  It's a refreshing vacation from multicore embedded
CPUs with tons of RAM etc.

              -Dave
