Thanks, team.
I'm not connected to MIDI at all at the moment. It first manifested while I was so I disconnected but the problem persisted. I've got the ROM out entirely at this point and it gets me to 7 dots. Oddly, last time I let it sit, it added a dot after several minutes.
At any rate, I'll give the old take-it-apart-and-put-it-back-together trick a shot. And my instinct says power supply too, maybe for no reason at all. There was mention of a replacement crystal in the forum as well although I've no idea what that means. Maybe I'll understand when it's sitting on my coffee table.
Thanks,
Scott
