Hey, that's what this list is for, right? ;-)
put in the real numbers for address and csr for
testing the drive ...
I'm going to do that next, here. ... the reason it prompts a zero
default is that it's a manifestation of the zero bug and that the
real
value *is* actually safe but hidden in memory?
One other thing you could do that would be interesting: re-run the exact
same test, but with the good cards in the machine, and see if you still
get 0's printed, or if this time the correct numbers show up.
Of course, that won't definitely prove that the right numbers are actually
being used inside (in the case where it prints 0's), but it would
certainly be
suggestive.
