Thanks Ernest,

I have a 2nd gen P Port that needs EFI and ignition and MS 2 with the latest
SW should work.  I do not have the luxury of using the 2nd gen CAS as it is
in the way of the v belts for the remote water pump and alternator.  I have
to come up with a trigger wheel on the E shaft.  I plan on using 4 RX-8
yellow injectors and maybe Kurt stage them.  I have downloaded the software
on to a laptop with windoz XP.  I like the redundancy of the EDIS but
without a fuel backup I feel it might be useless.  EZs are midwing and I
lose fuel pump when the power goes out.  Will have dual batteries and
essential bus and appropriate switching.  I have not purchased any of the
EFI or ignition parts yet and just trying to understand what options are out
there
