How is it incorrect?  But to test, I've taken it back out and its rebuilding 
now.  Installed, passes amcheck but took longer, 2.5 seconds.  Backup 
running.

What can I say?  It works.  But isn't that exactly what I started out with 
when I removed the tapedev statement from my configure driver, and which then 
failed totally night before last?  Call me puzzled, but I probably won't 
answer to that name...

Me goes off to garage to see if I can figure out an alarm to tell me when the 
garage door is open when its not supposed to be.  Apparently I accidentally 
pushed the button while carrying the remote in my pocket.  Long after I was 
in for the night & it was open the rest of the night till Dee asked my about 
10am why the door was open.  The real problem i$ that 3kw worth of heater$ 
wa$ running all night, in$tead of 1.5kw about 30% of the time.
