>>>>>[Glad I caught you before you left the hospital, Jacamus. I wish
you had told me. Anyway, i've checked the interface, and the problem is
in the chip. There is a small crack in it. From getting banged around
or poor quality i don't know. Instead of just interupting the current,
it is acting as a capacitor, building up charge, and then discharging
when it can't hold any more. This discharge gives the ghost images.
Smaller ones will just give a flacker or quick image, but with more dis-
charges, the crack gets bigger, can hold more charge, and has larger
effects when it discharges. With the bigger discharges, you can get
full images that can last several seconds. I will have to replace the
chip completely. I have the parameters from the old chip, and i will
get the new one to you as soon a i can.]<<<<<
