We haven't had compatibility problems with the DTK, however, occasionally,
we get an error message: "PARITY ERROR BUT SEGMENT DOESN'T FOUND"
This seems to happen only when running in Turbo (10Mhz) mode, and only
on rare (thankfully) occasions.  Both of our DTK's have done it, although
they pass every memory test program we have been able to get our hands on.
Could it possibly be cosmic radiation??? :-)
