Gene,

As I know you can't go buy these tools, they are amazing. There is a reason they cost so much $$$.

I pointed Boisy in the right direction on his research paper, the U listened and procured. Now they too are liking the data that is being gathered. The CAN/serial analyzers are even better.

You will have to ask Boisy on the cables, just got off the phone with him, he just made another batch.

Hoax and change.......

Regards,

Mark

That sounds like an expensive beast to feed too.

Or build them into the driver so as to see better what its doing.  Dumping 
its memory area when it hangs shows that it has sent a wakeup signal to 
process $00, and that rz hasn't drained the buffer, and there is a growing 
number of tx attempts, which cannot be sent because this drain bamaged chip 
can only send and RTS by totally disabling the transmitter. rz's process 
number has been wiped out somehow, and I haven't found the write that does 
it, yet...  Still looking.

What I need is some conversation with Boisy I believe.  But from the sounds 
of it it, he is up to his butt in alligators trying to graduate from this 
present class.

I wish you well in that dept.

How long is your std dw cable?  I'd need one about 25 feet long & 30 would be 
a plus.
