I checked ....-00-enable-out and ... -01-enable-out and they are
both FALSE.

There is still one watchdog pin active and it is FALSE and I can't
seem
to set it true.
If by inactive you mean non-functional that would be just fine.
However, there must be something getting in the way of servo analog out.

Indeed! I am quite dismayed by the apparent fact that this doesn't
just take off and run.
More to the point though there doesn't seem to be anyway to easily
debug the thing unless
you are good at hal which I am not.
Oh, well, off to watch a US First Robotics meet and then to the beach
for a couple of days.
Maybe this will look less daunting when I get back.
