If it happens on shutdown/restart of VAC, then it is 99.9% likely that the problem is in his cancel IRQ routine. Canceling IRQs in progress is always a sticking point in Windows driver development. That is why MS came up with Cancel Safe Queues in XP. Phil N8VB On 12/2/05, Robert McGwier

Both are excellent. The Personus has a little bit better dynamic range so it handles strong signals better but both are about equal in receiving weak signals. The Personus has a nice mic preamp and the firewire, although not as fast as PCI is very convenient since it can be used on laptops and

The FPGA equivalent is to do a syntax check and correct any errors there, then run a simulation of the input (if using VHDL or Verilog) to ensure the logic design seems to be OK. You then compile it, and then run the simulation on the output of the compiler, because it will sometimes
