Even 200C is absurd, really. That's above the melting point of many types of solder (http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/solder.htm) while 256C exceeds the melting point of _most_ types of solder. I seem to recall that this limit used to be 150C, still hotter than anything you actually want to have anywhere on a computer board. No sense checking sanity to then accept insane values; fix the broken ASL. 256 sounds suspiciously like a byte-swapped value, perhaps? cheers, Ian
