Thanks for the offer. Might be some time until then. I'm a slow designer! Also need to find the smallest possible parts to start with.

If it looks like it might all work out I may take you up on your offer. Hope you have a long memory as it may be a long time coming!

I'll still need to research both the PIC options and the sound options. If anyone else has experience in this area and can offer some insight it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Bart
