Rick;

	I would like to make a request to get 2 DSII PCBs installed on my
development stations before April 7.  I would also like to get two RAM PCBs
to go with them.  I am expecting a considerable amount of graphics soon and
I want to download them rather than burn EPROMs.  I am willing to live with 
no audio for several months.  When can I get these?

	I have asked Max to install the fast background which has never been
installed on Stun Hardware with 288 lines.  At the same time he was to install
the new No-Lag code.  I hope this does not cause any delays in his schedule.

	I have also asked Eric to correct one of the feedback joystick PCBs.
It drifts to the left.

	Do you know any experienced helicopter pilots or instructors?  Rob Rowe
knows a test pilot at NASA but I would like a local second source to ask
questions on handling and especially the feedback aspects.

						Thanks

Rick;

	I talked to Max today and he suggested that I wait before I get the DSII
PCBs.  It would be great if I could use 2 RAM PCBs.  If these are not available
or if it is not easy to connect them to the ADSP, then give Karen the schematics
to do 2 wirewraps for me.

						Thanks

	Yesterday I tried to run my program and it hung in READPOTS waiting
for the last pot conversion to finish.  Resets of the PCB did not help.  I
had to enter Jed's self test and then retry my program before it would run.
There is something I am not reseting and I would like to know what it is and
why it is not my code now and where it should be.

						Thanks

Jed;

	I have both RAM PCBs.  One seems to work fine and one fails the RAM
test.  Could you get the board debugged?

						Thanks

Jed;

	This morning my development system died.  I found that I cannot read
my self test EPROMs.  The starting PC and SP are incorrect and change depending
on the time of day.  I wonder if there is a bus conflict with the new RAM PCB?

	I will try checking the self test EPROMs, but I will need someone to
look at this since Eric is gone.

						Thanks

Rick,

Here is my formal request list for your groups support for Ed Logg's
helicopter game.  These requests may or may not overlap what Ed L. has
requested from you already.

1) We need to either have a modified version of Max's universe CAD ->
sector matrix conversion program, or access to said source so that I can
modify it myself.  I have spoken to Max and he is aware of the changes
that we need which will support the wrap arounds scheme that we are
planning to use.

2) We need a driver board modified for use as a universe cad tool.  The
modifications can be done by Farrohk, but appropriate documentation will
be necessary.  Also, since our object database is still very much in flux,
a ram based system (as opposed to ROM) is highly desireable.  Do we have
Farrohk MTO this board set, or will you handle it?

3) One situation that continually arose during the development of S.T.U.N.
Runner was that I would implement something, that you folks could use, or
Max or Steph would implement something that would be very useful to us
in our project.  Alas, even though we often saw each other daily, informing
each other of these new features & improvements did not happen in any
orderly fashion.  This was especially apparent at the end of the STUN when
Max came over and added a whole bunch of error detection code to the
system based upon changes that had been accumulated in teh Driver code
over the time period after which we first go the system code from Applied.

Now there are at least 3 projects using the same basic system.  I propose
that we meet to discuss ways in which this exchange of information can
be made in a timely yet painless fashion, especially since none of the
projects share any actual source files.  This could go a long way towards
speeding up development for all projects concerned.
