[Pro2006] Bill Cheeks CE/HB-232 interface

[Len G. Carpenter]

Mike my man,

You have to get that ce-232 together, once you do and get some good software
for it (hint hint) Pro-Turbo you will wonder why you never got it working
sooner.

One thing I can tell you though, as far as I know unless you have a pentium 1
computer you may not get his DOS software to run..
