> I first have to tweak my 'scope loop program, to turn on memory mapping
So while doing that I just discovered what I _think_ (maybe I'm just not being smart enough to see that it's somehow 'doing the right thing') is the wierdest hardware bug I've ever seen. Plug in an MSV11-J, disable ECC (store an '04' into the CSR), and then store '0172344' into any location. Now read it back! And it's not a bad RAM chip, which turning off the ECC is letting show through, because I tried several boards, and they all do the exact same thing. So either they've all got the same bad chip, or... :-) I found this when my modified 'scope loop program (above) blew out, but none of the other values used in that seemed to have a problem; but of course the program didn't include all 2^16 patterns. I suppose I should whip up a small program to try other values, and see if anything else does this... Noel
