Hi all just incase anyone needs a brainboard chip (d8b firmware chip) if when booting up you get garbled messages in your LCD its the firmware chip, obviously causes all sorts of probs, if it goes tits up get intouch i can send a BIN file for programing your own, handy to have a spare,
or PETE, if there is space in the database you can put it there as a download its 128KB, let me know and al dropbox it you.
Or, i can do it for you, and while im at it i can custom it to your studio so rather than the LCD saying " MACKIE D8B LOADING " or what ever it says, ( mine says the name of my studio) you can have the name of your studio going across, perfect if ever your D8B get nicked, ....thinking about it, if anyone does have the strength to go running down the street with your D8B would you want to stop him haha
