I cannot BEGIN to talk this highly technical talk, but I have some comments to make! I think Jim is a fantastic person. I want DESPERATELY to be able to buy Rottendog boards and feel good about them. I think what he does is a great service.

BUT . . . I have had two cases of 'bad luck' with Rottondog PS boards. I bought a PS for my Phantom pin and within a week or so, my pin slowly started failing to function correctly. It 'appears' that many things are now burnt or ruined because of voltage issues. I am having ALL the boards in my pin being rebuilt as I speak. I cannot verify or prove without a doubt that the Rottondog board caused my problems. I just know that I have taken out the board and an expert board repairman is currently restoring my original PS and CPU boards.

My second case was with my TZ. My original PS had battery acid damage. I put in a new Rottondog PS. My TZ went crazy. DMD showing strange graphics and occassional messages that many components were broken. "Clock malfunction". Things like that. I took out my PS from my White Water and put it in the TZ and it worked perfectly. Put the Rottondog back in and the machine failed in every regard during boot-up. Took the Rottondog back out again and installed my freshly restored, previously acid damaged PS, and my TZ worked perfectly again.

Crash and GPE are saying 'something' that seems to be akin to the two problems I've had. I want nothing but the best success for Jim, and I would LOVE to be able to purchase Rottondog boards and know without a doubt I can 'plug and play' without having issues. Maybe I just had bad luck.
