Thanks for the thought Bob - it was the greatest avoidance of the subject in
question I have seen for some time.
Anyhow, It seems that a little (a very little) insistence on a firm
connection when checking things bent a few pins of the plcc socket. False
alarm. Thanks to all who bent their minds to my headache.
