Been kinda slow in these parts as of late. I've been making some steady progress after my little mishap.
In order to use the usb port, I had to replace the Eprom chip inside the Power Cab handset. So off with the back and I carefully pried off the existing one and replaced it with the "upgrade" chip.

Installing the driver software for the USB Port. yawn...boring I know.

My little test rig for decoder programming and installation. I always like to play with this stuff and understand how it works before I go through the trouble of installing on the layout itself. I'm going to try and install the torts tomorrow under the layout.
