RE: PMC10 problem

[Ed Drake <ejdrake@mindspring.com>]

Steve,

The only other thing I can think of is to change the battery inside the
footpedal that stores the memory.  It is a 4.5 volt battery a little bigger
than a AA size.  I was having some memory corruption issues and changing
the battery fixed everything.
