Hi buzzbomb, thanks for the post. Sorry for the late reply as I've been busy & haven't had the time to look into the problem again (ran out of ideas & sort of giving up!!!). I had a quick look at the link you provided and it looks pretty full-on ... buying hardware kit, cables etc ... I will need to set aside some quality time to look into it seriously ... will let you know how I go ...
