Hello,
I'm at a loss for what will take to get either of the two boards into DL
mode.
The board has nothing plugged into it; the BATT and PWR LEDs flash on and
then PWR remains on so I can not confirm the synptoms of the ds1233(U12)
voltage monitor failure you suggested below.
Since .s19 goes into external RAM I won't try placing the HC11 chip into
any other type of board. Are there any other 'brute force' methods
(removing battery power, removing the external RAM from its socket to
allow decay of values) or PCB test points that I could probe with a volt
meter or scope.
I haven't found this problem in the FAQ list nor seen it in the short time
I've been on the HB mailing list.
Thanks,
Bob
