All fixed, thanks.  I went down to start the coco, and had to pull & 
reseat the gime to get anything but a plain green screen or a confetti 
crash.  Can't say it was not overdue though as it hadn't been touched with 
a plcc puller in a good 5 years.

And the rtc clock in the TC^3 was about half an hour fast.  Drivewire 
didn't fix it.  IIRC there was a thread here a month, or 3 back, the 
drivewire would do that clock setting, effectively putting the coco's 
clock on an ntp stabilized source, which I am on this machine.

Someone at that time mentioned a time lag to do it, perhaps I didn't wait 
long enough?  Dunno.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
