    I would like to do so. But I don't think I have the capabilities and/or
spare time right now to attempt such a project. Dissambling a new chip might
take some time, and I need to get the car streetable asap. I could always
walk to the project later own ;-)
    As for the 8746 dump, if you don't mind, I'd like to have a copy. It
might prove useful while tuning my chip. I coud always refer to it as a
reference.


Thanks for the help,
