oh, also, i am familiar with 8086/88 assembly language, C++, RTN and computer organization, digital logic, circuit theory, FPGA's, and i could easily learn any other computer language withen a month or so if it helps. i do not, however, have any idea what is compatible with what and what all i would need. i have a basic idea but my knowledge is mostly in how to DESIGN a computer rather than how to ASSEMBLE parts that have allready been made. i hope this helps and thanks again for your input
