Re: Transwarp GS freezes



> Congratulations--good job!
I was celebrating too soon :-(

The Card worked for about 8 hours in cache-test and a good 2 hours playing Mods afterwards! I played some OotW today with 56Mhz Oscillaror (14mhz just to be safe) and guess what, the card crashed about 30 minutes in (+10-20 minutes GSOS). Now it has the exact same symptoms as before. 1-10 minutes of GSOS-action, then crash. From then on every restart shortens the time to the next crash until i get 401 and 302 then only 301 errors. I found some flunky (U63, U60, U31) SMD-ICs which i replaced. But it only made the card seemingly only a _little_ more stable (faster "recover" from crashes as it seems). Something in this card is fundamentally wrong! I just can't find it. I hope its not the Altera. I replaced the capacitors for tantal ones as well. The last straw is replacing the slow LS and HC Logic against ALS and AHC(T) ones. This card really gets on my nerves. I'm fishing in the dark (back again). It looks like if i fix one thing another one seems to break down. This is the perfect sell and run opportunity ;-) -- no really, im trying to fix this f****r for good.
