First and foremost, this IS NOT a tech support newsgroup.  It never has
been, and probably never will be.  It is a user forum.

Website polls are extremely inaccurate, for reasons I don't even want to

questionable at best.

It sounds almost as though the TAD cable might be bad, have you checked
that?
