I think a lot of the flakiness on the original boards was hardware related - you effectively had a 5V supply running through two polyfuses to the USB devices and as a result the VBUS on the ports could be rather low. I replaced the fuses on my board with wire links and it improved the behavior a lot. Apparently the newer boards are shipped with the USB polyfuses replaced by 0 ohm links. The network glitches I was having didn't seem to be related to this, though. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
