talons field test game

(1 / 2)


Jed,

Looks like we had one over-voltage detection event last night. 
	I found out something today with the hardware so I need to tell you 
what I did when I first encountered this problem last week:
	I first exchanged ADSP II boards, then COMM boards, and the problem was 
still on the right side. Then I removed the MSYNC board from the right side and 
installed another MSYNC board and the problem was still on the right side. I 
figured the MSYNC board was ok so I assumed it was harnessing or power supply 
related. 
	Well, this morning I exchanged complete board sets between the right 
and left sides and the problem changed to the left side!
	I looked at the rams on the MSYNC board and I noticed that 5K,15K,25K, 
and 35K are -10 instead of -12 which are on the development system boards. Can
this be a problem?

-10 (100 ns) RAMs should be ok unless they are our old friends the standard
power Hyundai parts. (Part number does not say 'LP').
