Not sure if you disagree with Andrew's bit or my bit, if mine: A pity you aren't in Munich, I think one of those chips is still in Munich, I still have those same 2 boards (I bough Gary J's off him a while ago), I never bet money, but I'd have bet you an indian meal +drinks, that I could reproduce the failure :-) > What vintage chips are you speaking of? Can't remember, Ask Rod Grimes or Gary Jennejohn. Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
