Sorry guys, I should have said, I've got the doc. I've probably got
the one you're pointing too as well John. But I'll pick it up from TT
tomorrow if not, thank you.

Nice to see the same people still reading as were here in 2002 as
well :)

OK. Tomorrow ill put more thought into comparing the two CPUs. The
only thing that really springs to mind at the moment is maybe they've
messed with the order of the address lines or something?

The really odd thing is I know for a fact I've fixed centipede boards
in the past with my 5006.

Incidentally, I'm now using the 9100 for the sigs. I keep meaning to
post the programs up on my website but they need some refining. Error
trapping and the like. I've had it producing HP signatures for some
time now.

I'll post back if I work anything out. Thanks for the pointers though.

Martin.
