The German system is a time bomb:

by Ron Williams - 5-22-13

• It has the wrong 1402.
  Solar vs. CB pulses, hand redrawn ALDs.
• It has the wrong 1406
  Signals between the 1401 and the 1406 don't match
• It has the wrong 1403
  1401 is featured for STL. 1403 is not.
• It has a miss-mash of 729 models.
• It has Process Overlap and Sterling.
• It didn't even have a power cord in 2004.

It is a miracle that it powers up,

much less runs.

In its defense, the last year or so of CPU problems were of our hand:

• Shorted SMS cards.
• Replacing cards with untested cards.
• Replacing with wrong type cards.
• Plugging cards in wrong location.

Please Be Careful
