   128DCR problem   
   07 Jan 16 11:28:23   
   
   One of my 128DCR's has had an intermittent lockup I tried heating isolated   
   chips on MB   
   the MMU reacted by locking the computer up, I thought I had isolated the bad   
   IC, but recently I was running some   
   software and after about 2 hours it locked up again.   
   So back to troubleshooting this again, happens when I least expect the system   
   to lockup, so isolating one chip at a time with a piece of   
   cardboard, heat chip with heat gun for a few seconds (on low heat setting).    
   More fun.   
      
   BTW  I did the Al Anger hack to this 128DCR, I totally shut off the internal   
   1571 and only use the IEC serial port, but does the internal 1571   
   MB circuit still interfere in anyway, or cause a lockup, im wondering if this   
   may be my lockup problem.   
      
   Just occured to me I had heard the Al Anger hack may still cause some   
   problems, but not sure if they cause intermittent lockups, I always have to   
   reset the computer at this point.   
      
   Thanks,
