Well, you were close. :) The card edge connector from the cable on the
front panel has some pins that barely touch. To confirm I swapped (shh!)
the front panel from the 2112 with the 2108. Sure enough, now the 2108
will IBL, and the 2112 will not.
Anyone recommend a place to order a replacement the 50 pin card edge
connector?
I suspect Crisis will sell me a replacement front panel (part
02108-60024) and it does have one broken switch plate on it. Don't know
for how much. :/
The switches work ok, so I think all I need to do is replace the edge
connector. I suppose I could cut one off the end of the memory card
cable, but that sounds like a Bad Idea, as I should be able to find one
someplace.
Thanx for the help!
