>Why do you ask? Lotsa reasons; 1) I'm kinda interested in the workings of hw locks 2) Does the hardware lock in any way aid the programs computational ability? 3) DO people often run into problems with the hw lock? I'm interested mainly because I myself am a programmer and graphics designer. I also had a very bad experience with the Covox company and their "recognition aiding" DONGLE! I had to reverse the parallel port connection INSIDE my computer to get it to work. <My parallel port worked just fine before, and I had even run a set of diagnostics on it that turned out OK> I would really appreciate any info. BTW, which rev's of 3DS use an HW? Thanks again, Aaron the Good
