Well Mark, I appreciate your reminding me to check the IDE header. I had visually looked it over last week, but missed one bad connection. I verified it with a continuity test on my multimeter tonight. I touched it and the one next to it up, and fingers crossed everything is perfect again.
Sometimes you just need to be told to look again, ya know.
Now comes the fun task of trying to remember what I had in my config.ini.
Thanks again! I know my empeg would have been dead long ago if it wasn't for the people here.
