Update, with one of the missbehaving 5i25's in this slower Dell it ran a couple of my old configs for TLM without a hiccup. So I did a temporary sshfs hookup and copied the complete config/GO704fast directory to that machine. Without Jons pwm-servo to initialize, I had to troll thru the hal file, nuking any references to the boot module that requires, until it would run with nothing but the card in the pci slot. About 10 lines commented and one setp added to duplicate what the commented code did. The problem came with the config!!!!!!! So now, nuke the extra stuff in the ini file until it Just Works again. Back later, hopefully with a finger pointed at the culprit. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
