[MiNT] CT2b Saga Continues

["Brian J. Roland" <bjr@localink4.com>]

The strangest thing just happened!
I'm sure most of you have seen my venting about Falcon CT2b and mint
problems...the saga continues, but this time there's good news.

Today I took my CT2b out, did a full reinstall, and kept having the same
problems.
Next I put the CT2b board under a well lit magnifying glass, and discovered some
crushed pins on the CPU.  How they got this way, I haven't a clue.  My guess is
that a pair of the pins might have been 'touching'.  So....I found a razor and
added some space between the suspected pins there right carefully.

I still get problems from time to time on boot...but not nearly as bad (today
anyway).

Here's the fun part!
I took down all my MINT folder files and reinstalled these bits.  While I was at
it, decided I might as well try it with memory protection on.  Alas, it's
working!  Right now at least....CAF is even playing a MIDI file as I type here.

This is with the 1.15.12 kernal in Turbo Mode and EasyMiNT 1.4.1 distribution.

Lets hope it stays together!
