 Hi there David,

I am using the EPIC card exclusively in my B747-400 motion-based
simulator. URL below.

There are two ways to program the EPIC. A hard way and an easy way. The
hard way is to use the programs/documentation supplied with the EPIC and
the easy way is to use some freeware software. The freeware software is
definately the way to go. To be honest, both ways take a bit of getting
used to, but if you are prepared to walk before running, and get the
basics right at the start it all then seems to come together. Have
programmed analogs, switches and lights to date.
