Bill,

I think Elektron forge sells new cables and I would just replace the
headers.

How (un)reliable is that board to board connector? Would it be worthwhile
to replace it with two small piggyback boards (one on each BZ board) that
convert from the molex pins to a ribbon cable connector? Just thinking
aloud.....

I've got about 4 working mathbox's on the bench... and have tried at least
two known workers on this so far.... (working through my pile of BZ boards)

Its not just the tanks and objects that are screwing up..... its
everything..... Text, Radar, Mountains....

I'm convinced its not drawing the full 'display list' and its getting mixed
up and confused once it gets part way through it....

Time will tell....

Regards, Colin
