He reports: : "the little light under the quartz lid goes on -- briefly". You didn't : know EPROMs had lights, did you? :-) :-) Hm, the light that indicates that a XXX dollar device is changing into a 10 cent fuse? :-) :-) :-) Must have looked like that blue flash I saw when I trusted the physical plant people to put the correct voltage on a line they installed for a PDP11/34. Anyone wanna guess what happens when you drive a 110V single phase PDP11/34 with 220V 3 phase? :-( -- Kenneth Ng: Post office: NJIT - CCCC, Newark New Jersey 07102 uucp !andromeda!galaxy!argus!ken *** NOT ken@bellcore.uucp *** bitnet(prefered) ken@orion.bitnet or ken@orion.njit.edu
