Tom,
I don't have a TU56 & TD8E _yet_, but really hope to get one fairly soon --
if successful, they will most assuredly require troubleshooting & repairs.
Where did you find the source for TDFRMT?  Also, where did you find the
MAINDEC document that matches your version of the TD8E MAINDEC?  I ask
because I've had _great_ difficulty finding MAINDEC docs that actually
match whatever MAINDEC images I've tried to use.
Thanks,
Bob
