RLC-3 Version 1.65

The following things have changed since the last software 
version: 

- Found out that all previous versions of the software have
  accessed the TI TSP53C30 voice synthesizer with chip select
  pulses that are shorter than what the chip is rated for.
  This may have been the cause of random controller resets,
  especially when the controller got hot.  It did not affect
  how the chip sounded or worked otherwise.  This version
  adds wait states to the bus accesses for that chip to avoid
  the problem.  Otherwise it is identical to V1.64.

You can find this file and the others described below on our 
internet ftp site.  The easiest way to access it is with a web 
browser through our homepage (http://www.link-comm.com/linkcomm).  
You can also access it directly by anonymous ftp at 
ftp.netins.net in a subdirectory of showcase/linkcomm/.

README.TXT           This file.

EPROMS.ZIP           The files needed to burn this software version.
                     The card rom data (included) is identical to V1.45.
                     The voice eprom data (included) is identical to V1.41.

EPROMS.ZIP should contain the following files:

  RLC3CARD.BIN should be loaded with offset of 0 as a binary file and
  burned into a 27C512 EPROM for each of the cards.  It is the same as
  version 1.45.  Checksum = B249.

  PROM1.BIN and PROM2.BIN should be loaded as binary files with no
  offset and burned into 27C010 or 27C001 eproms for the motherboard.
  PROM1 Checksum = 50CD.  PROM2 Checksum = BC2D.

  Socket #3 should be empty.

  RLC3_VCE.141 should be loaded as a binary file with no offset and
  burned into a 27C010 or 27C001 eprom.  It is only about 77K, so don't
  be concerned that the file size is different than PROM1 and PROM2.  It
  goes in socket 4 on the motherboard.  It is the same as V1.41.
  Checksum = 5DAC.
