UH OH....Looks like Jim Myers might get a shot at this too.
We've got R14705 at the very back of the Deflection board that toasted a
hole in the board. Also the possibility of having to adjust
geometry....which I hope is accessable thru the front keyboard WITHOUT
Chipper Check.......Probably not!
And me with Win 95, wondering if CC Ver 1.8 is installed, or even if it IS
installable on that platform. Oh boy! Plug it in, wait 15 minutes for it to
come up.....
Now I've got to look over that ATC311 info a little more closely, I knew it
was coming.....
Any suggestions, like "Don't work on it!" would be appreciated before I
drive 45 miles back, with a Brand NEW Board.....
