Re: Major Havoc clicking

I'm the guy with the Space Duels :-) One of them is working now, and I have
2 more to go. One of my boardsets clicks with a known good AVG chip, and
one of my AVG chips will make any board click. So the problem can come from
more than one direction. I'll keep updating the list with any progress I
make on the other boards.

See ya,
Jeff
