tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31597 Loc: Seattle, WA	I saw a bright line running down the right side of the display today. A reboot made it go away. I remember hearing that this was a known bug. Refresh my memory: What causes this, and is it dangerous? -- Tony Fabris -- Empeg #144 -- Caution: Do not look into laser with remaining good eye. _________________________ Tony Fabris

The rev2 just has PROM-based ones which can't be reflashed. Hugo
