Yes. > Are there any device >drivers for the watchdog timers on these boards? I generally hack a user-mode program together. The point being that if a very simple user-more program doesn't get scheduled, I'm toast. A device-driver has the risk of working even though the system is hung. > Any recommendatitions for reliable computers? Keep 'em cool.
