Does anyone know if ICD have a E-mail address? A friend of mine has an AdSpeed board that behaves strangely -- it would be nice if we could avoid a transatlantic phone call... The problem is that the board runs OK in 8MHz mode, but as soon as we switch it to 16MHz (using the software supplied), it instantly switches back to 8MHz! This is according to the speed display on the menu bar, at least -- and the machine doesn't run any faster :-(. Anyone had a similar problem? Thanks in advance, -- John Honniball (BJ) bj@inmos.co.uk bj@inmos.com

Do many people have the ICD AdSpeed?
I recently put one in a Mega ST-4 with a Moniterm board and
it seemed to work pretty well. I left the machine on overnight
and it had crashed by morning. It seems that it crashed within
a few hours. The problem seems to be heat related, because the
system seems to get flakey after it's been on for a while.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems?

Mine was added to an old 520ST (w/2.5M). I can't speak for the installation into a Mega, but in a 520 there doesn't seem to be a heat problem. I run my ST for about 8 hours a day (as a terminal).

I just had a friend who bought an ad speed call me up too tell me that
ICD shipped him a dead 68K with the board!
That must suck.
