Xi said that one of the chips (the TI ramdac, I think) was a newer revision than the one they were using. Nevertheless, we have quite a pile of these cards, and they all exhibit the same symptoms. I'd need a camera to actually show you, as the server thinks the colours are fine. Right now I just want a bomb to put under XI's butts; we were counting on these guys working and so far we've only been saved by the laziness of the trading company our customer is using. > Jordan -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
