[Duo2400] Re: GLOD it seems on my 2400, and triumphs

[Bon Davis]

Bikes have given me as much fun  as little mac laptops.
I had a 77 sportster 1000, Harley till a year ago... now all i have 
is a rusty rolling chassis of a Triumph. I better not get an orange 
clamshell to go with the rust :-)

I found the 2400 i/o board at PBparts ( I think) but it was $200 !!!

maybe it is the fuse ..or something else...

the green light come on the moment i put the battery back in after a reset.
Not starting up at all.

I have a friend here who can do the board level work and i was jsut 
talking about cardbus enabling the 2400 with him. He does design for 
and upgrade chip manufacturer and he build robots.
so if i could do the troubleshooting he could do the soldering..

but i think that Dtt sounds like a better deal.
I am just wishing i had a G3 for it.


SO i am waiting.
I could end up with another 2400 to combine... that seems a good option too.

funny who we have two GLOD threads going... hope it is not a trend.

thanks everyone,.
