Hello,

I'm having trouble getting my Rev 1.2 Handy Board up and running.  It did
work once and then the following symptoms:

I start the mac based down loader, which download the bootstrap code fine.
Both charger board and the handy board's serial light flickers.  Once the
down loader tries to send the p-code the handyboard's serial light stops
flickering and gets slightly brighter.  The charger board acts as if it's
send the full p-code.  IC cannot sync with the board after reset.

I have tried the following:
-checked all joints.
-replaced the following with the listed parts.
74HC244N w/ SN74LS244N
MCM60L256A w/ 62256A
CD74HC373 w/ SN74LS373

Supply and GND check fine for the memory circuit.

Any thoughts or suggestions??

thanks
