Peter,

That is good news, at least as far as finding a problem and having a
probable solution. What do I need to do from here? Please feel free to
contact me off list.

BTW, regarding the EMC 2.3.7 + 7i43... thread, I also have a box with a VIA
mini-ITX motherboard
(http://www.mini-box.com/Hybrid-C7-1-5G?sc=8&category=99) which I am
currently using with an m5i20 board. I can easily reconfigure for the 7i43.
Let me know if that is different from what you have used to test and if you
would like me to test anything with it.

Regards,
Eric


Well I got one of those MiniITX D945GCLF2 Motherboards and did some testing
The SMSC super I/O chip has very fast edges, and triggers a problem I'd
noticed with one of my plug-in PCI parallel port cards.

(1 foot flat cable)

With my EPP loopback test and the current firmware I got verify errors about
every 200K EPP operations :-(


With new firmware that has improved EPP timing I got the error rate down to 
about 1 error every 100 million EPP operations


With Rev C hardware and new firmware the test has gotten to ~500 million 
operations without error, (still running) I'll leave it on over night to
make 
sure I've really got it licked.

I will probably have to send you a REV C 7I43 (three 220 PF capacitors added

to EPP ASTROBE/DSTROBE/READ at 26 pin Header to prevent overshoot)
