Many thanks for your additional infos.

However, please don't waste your time on this thread. For the moment,
I have decided that till I will not find a good documentation about
how to do it, and read that it works without any problems, I am NOT
gonna spend anymore time on this. (I do not intend to sound/be
sarcastic, but my time is limitted and I canot allow myself too much
play time that doesn't proove to go the right direction).
