I have no idea if the problems reported with the Grand Prix and the NCR are caused by the same "oversight", but I would guess that the problem is totally different since the NCR code was engineered more robustly than the original aic7xxx code and the mistake is fairly obvious. > Regards, > Terry Lambert > terry@cs.weber.edu >--- >Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present >or previous employers. -- Justin T.
