I have an ATSC TV tuner that gets and stays confused when the signals get noisy and (maybe) writes bad data to memory (memory leaks?). I have to leave the tuner unplugged for about a couple of hours or more before the memory voltage will drain enough to start fresh. I seem to recall that some point, communication was getting through to the 7i43's, but not all. Maybe they got into a similar state. Is there a way to get the 7i43's to do a global reset? A similar issue comes to mind. Sometimes a hard drive will get a bad MBR which can not be erased or rebuilt. I have had to dd write FF's to the first few sectors to get the drive to not use the bad MBR, so that I can reformat the drive. I haven't had to do this for quite a few years, so my recollection might be wrong. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malware Security Report: Protecting Your Business, Customers, and the Bottom Line.
