Well, I sent my memory error ridden unit back to empeg for a look at it. Hugo thought that perhaps there was a problem with the "speed & timings of when certain ram access lines are asserted." So he made these changes. Got the unit back this morning, but once it got hot again, it started acting in the same manner. ARGH!

Now, I can't run emplode (it bombs every time it tries to check the drive integrity (and sends the player into a state where it dumps an indefinite stream of memory locations or something...)

Hoping to replace this unit next week with another one without this pesky problem...

Sigh... I will say that Rob and Hugo have been very good through this turbulent time. I'm sure that I have been a pest with a thousand emails... They have had the patience of saints...
