Yeah, I think I probably dropped an input line on one of the
power rails (DOH!).  Unfortunately, I am not associated with the
fine learning institution where I got it from, and also it is
the old bigger EVB.  I assume the new EVBs use the same PRU,
am I right?  

What am I using it for?  Well, I have a quad D/A converter, and I
am using the HC11 to output digital X,Y positions for two galvometers
to move a laser beam around to do some animation.  Last night I
was using the A/D converter on the HC11 to read an analog joystick
for use in inputing the point positions, but somehere along the line,
I messed up, the output ports went into multiplexed mode, and 
the PRU got too hot to touch...
