Yes, Igor, we are nearly there! Doctor, it stopped talking. :-( Alas, Igor, I don't think we have room in the freezer to keep it alive. And now, for reality: The monitor runs fine when the board is cold. Eventually it stops responding. When reset, it prints the banner up to the point where it says, "ram free above 0x1" and dies. At this point, it is very repeatable, it behaves the same way. I'll have to spend some time with the scope tomorrow. Any hints (other than check all solder joints and IC seating)? -- Craig Ruff NCAR cruff@ncar.ucar.edu (303) 497-1211 P.O. Box 3000 Boulder, CO 80307
