Richie C, great job figuring that one out on your own, nice work.

Thanks Tony... only really figured it out by searching for other posts with that "Player Received Signal 11" message (whatever that means!?)

I know it will (or used to) freak out a player. I think I had to do a Control - C to get out of it.

I did have to do a CTRL-C to get to the bash prompt.. however to begin with i thought there was more of a problem cous' i could even get CTRL-C to drop to the prompt! - turns out i had the flow control setting in Hyperterminal set to "Hardware" instead of "None", so nothing i typed would have worked! duh!

Mmmmm..... beer...

...Now there's an idea!

Thanks everyone.. just like to say this is the best forum on the net - and definatly the most helpful!! .. & the Empeg is one of the best gadgets ive ever brought! (even though i've had it quite a while - it still impresses me!!)
