Finally got around to updating that system, and the FF2 really does 
wonders.  It only takes
a tiny bit, I settled on 0.06

I had a totally bizarre problem 2 weeks ago with my ancient 1999 EMC 
system, I now think maybe
it was a keyboard problem and thought I was hitting F6 every once in a 
while.  Anyway, you'd be
jogging along and suddenly the axis alignment would reset to the machine 
home position.
It was really bizarre, and played hob with doing some semi-manual 
machining.  So, I decided
I finally have to upgrade that system.  I used it this weekend for a 
quick job, and the problem
didn't show up once!  But, I don't need such flaky activity on a machine 
tool.  Anyway, in a couple
weeks I should have the update done.  Didn't quite get started on it 
this weekend.

I put a cobbled-together VGA board in my Dell development system, and I 
did not get any of
the RT latency messages.  I'll have to watch it for a while, but it is 
starting to look like the
i810 on-mobo video may have been the cause of those.
