Matt,

 Can you debug Vectorbeam CPU boards with the Kurz Kasch?
With the Cine' Exorcisor there is an extra jumper that must
be added. Unfortunately, I've never found it's complete 'to-from'
description. Do you have to do something similar with a K-K?

I've posted some scans of the Kurz Kasch cards here -->
http://rossiters.com/cinematronics

I apologize for my lack of cropping on the last picture. I also positioned
the capacitors straight up so you could see the traces better, but naturally
it lifted up the card from the scanner a bit, so it'll look a little out of
focus.

If you need more scans or descriptions let me know.

Matt
