Interesting. I have a spare fan lying around, and will see if that makes any difference.
I have my doubts tho, because it appears that some of the irq handling code is flakey or intermittent. almost as if in some cases it stops copying from the plx becuase its in the section of code called 'irq loop'. In most cases, the kfir->recording turns 2, and that stops the datastream.. (look at lines 1824) If i had an API for the kfir, i could determine what's causing kfir->recording to change from 1 to 2.. I haven't played with it in a week, so maybe its time to start hacking around again. jason Lawrence Gold wrote: > On Sat, Nov 03, 2001 at 08:32:14PM -0500, Jason D.
