Thanks, that was it. 

Now the next question is about field outputs in the d version. I have 
been using charge buckets to detect the 500 hz square waves, gated from 
the charge pump to enable, in sequence determined by timers in my hal 
file, to enable a couple 400 volt 30 amp SSR,s that turn on the spindle 
supply first thru a 50 ohm 200 watt R, then 4 seconds later, turns on a 
second such SSR that bypasses the 50 ohm. This to control the inrush 
that if hard switched, trips a 30 amp breaker.

If I clip out the charge buckets, and simply ground the - terminal of the 
SSR with the timed outputs while feeding the + terminal 12 volts. is 
there ever a situation during the systems power up where those 2 outputs 
might be pulled down, enabling things out of sequence or the timers 
control?

If its safe, I can simplify the hal file by at least 15 LOC.

Talked to you on and Catherine the phone just now. So that potential 
problem is solved also. Thank you.
