SUMMARY: PWS500 Power Switch again

  Several people have indicated that there was a difference between
  the Miata
  and the Miata GL, the latter would remember the state of the
  power switch through
  power breaks, the former not. I could not locate anything in the
  documanttion to
  confirm or deny this. However, I did put up documentation on the beasts
  at www.kednos.com/Miata position 8 of SW1 seems to be tied to
  the power; however,
  I didn't try this because the setting is the same on two of my
  systems one of
  which works and the other doesn't. I was able to clock one of them at 700
  The clock settings are in http://www.kednos.com/Miata/miataswitch.txt

    Paul,

    I also seem to remember while working for you, the DPW 500au I had on my
    desk had a very dodgy power switch, I think finally I left a bit of
    cardboard in it to keep it on. Got that fixed yet?

    Does the TCP/IP Services crash happen, if you shutdown then do an
    'init' on
    the console and then reboot? And guess your already fully up to date on
    patches?

    Best Regards

    Alex
