That is why asked the question. I would suspect some difference in electrical noise from device to device, but what we are seeing is a great deal more electrical noise between the two devices. It is possible that the one m515 we have is an anomaly, but we don't want to have to buy a bunch of them to see if it really is! We are already working on a way to get around the issue. We were just curious if anyone could shed light on why we might be seeing the difference.
Thanks, Brad "Keith Rollin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:102340@palm-dev-forum... Yes, all m515's have the same microprocessor (or, rather, the same *model* of microprocessor -- the 68VZ328). The only device that shipped with different microprocessor models was the Palm VII (it shipped in 328 and EZ varieties). Forgive a "non-hardware person who nonetheless emulates hardware in his software", but aren't there many more reasons for electrical noise than just the microprocessor? Alternatively, couldn't even the same kind of microprocessor emit noise differently, given different batches? That is, why are you singling out a different microprocessor as the culprit? -- Keith Rollin -- Palm OS Emulator engineer -----Original Message----- From: Brad Figler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 11:37 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Internal Hardware m515 This might sound like a stupid question, but, do all of the m515's shipped by palm have the same microprocessor in them? Your probably asking yourself, why would he be asking a silly question like that. Ofcourse, all m515's would ship with the same processor. The reason I ask is because we have two m515's in house and one of them generates an incredible amount of electrical noise compared to the other one. And it has a suspiciously perfectly repeating heart beat (at about every 11 milliseconds while the device is sitting in an idle state). We are developing some hardware for the device and this is how we stumbled across the difference in the two devices. We are quite curious as to why one device would act different from the other (they certainly look the same =) ). -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
