Check the station's master sync generator. You'll probably find that it already has horizontal and vertical drive outputs that just aren't being used. A couple of cables and you're in business.

I used to drive a truck a few years back. I once rode with an old codger that had been driving for about 30 yrs. The only time he would use the clutch was to get the truck moving. He could shift that 13 speed lightning quick, up or down, without the slightest rake of a gear. He was as smooth as silk. It was the mo...

There are several reasons for this difference. The main reason is that good hitters in their prime (such as Frank Thomas and Danny Tartabull) are rarely regular DH's, even if they can't field; it's more commonly a place to put aging veterans. Another use of the DH slot is to help a player come back from injury slow...

This is completely false. This is also false. What you need for multisession capability is multisession capability -- which is based on the firmware and electronics, not the drive speed.
