Resolved: Re: 11/34 sanity check

[Don North]

Actually the maintenance/debugging chapter (8) in the KY11-LB maintenance manual 
mentions this problem as a symptom, and the resolution is to reverse the cable 
plugged into the M7859 coming from the front panel. So the manuals can be useful 
as well.

However, it is still not good form to be so snippy in either asking questions or 
answering them. There are more and more noobs out there that are younger than 
their machines, and guiding them how to ask questions is as important as to 
answering them.

If you don't want to respond in a civil fashion then don't respond at all. Then 
your time will not be wasted.
