Yea, I had found some on Tigerdirect but I was unsure if they could be jumpered down small enough so I didn't want to muddy the waters in case they couldn't. You can still get some of the smaller capacity drives via ebay if the need ever arises. Glad you got that sorted.

Hope you get your other oddities figured out.

Hey Crash

Good news, upon one more pass, I noticed a loose connector that I had overlooked....looks like all those intermittent issues were due to this loose connector. I am now back online!
Thus can you tell me what this connector does?

It provides power from the power board and is adequately covered in the database.

As Peter states, that is power...to the DSP board to be more precise. Any of those cables like that with the big white header are power. I really figured you were having issues with power to the Brain board, the one in the middle mounted flat to the the metal pan. No matter, glad you are up and going again.

Ughhhhh.....I ran a session for 3 hours last night with no hitch..got up this morning and turn on the board and again I am getting all "frozen faders" on reboot attempts. This frustrating because I can't figure out why it would run ok for 3 hours but not today?

The only thing I can think of is it's cooling down has caused something to contract :?:
