Well, I don't know how much this might have to do with it, but someone recently ordered a Z-248 through the college and got one with ROM's that were over a year old, and about 4 revisions behind. The possibility of newer ROM's providing more stack space, or other goodies, presents itself. Luck, --Steve.
