I have had no end of problems with the *many* BC11A cables that I have (ie
they?re
bad cables). It?s the flex ribbon cable itself that?s been the issue.
I may have a BC11 cable as another local guy, Josh Dersch may have one. Of
course as you state, it could be bad given the flakiness of the cable but
I'll give it a try in the meantime.

If your boards and cables turn out to be viable replacements, I'll
definitely grab one given that it's starting to sound like I should expect
the BC11 to break at any moment. :)
