Re: Repeater Quirks? (was: Re: Not Underestimating an Audi...)



You know, I've never had to do this, but a good reinstall of the OS 
couldn't
hurt.  I'm not sure if the Repeater is subject to OS corruption, but 
judging
on how it was released, I wouldn't be surprised.  I've got two Repeaters, 
and
they both seem to run very smoothly... if you don't push them by trying to
push buttons too fast, or use a slow CFC card.  I'll try what Stuart's
attempting tonight and see if I can duplicate that problem.  When I was 
doing
beta testing for OS 1.1, I don't remember anyone complaining about that 
exact
issue, but that was a long time ago.
