Hi Chris et al, OK, we're checking how. Hopefully Wad will have some data and I'm trying to get two 656 XOs in the office filled up so I can see the failure case.
I still don't understand when and how the script is used. Please give me a little more detail. e.g. - I sit down in the morning, start my XO (anything happen here?) - I download some stuff off the internet. I fill my NAND (anything happen here?) - My XO slows to a crawl so I reboot (anything happen here?) - My XO power light comes on and it starts to come up again (anything happen here? what do I see on reboot?)
