[UK-CONTEST] N1MM and Microkeyer

[Clive Whelan]

Gentlemen

This is all well documented, so no point in reinventing the
wheel.

If you use a dual core processor with mH router and N1MM you
are at risk of the reported problems. You may not actually
get them but you are AT RISK. Trust me on this; I was
probably the first to experience the problem, when both
vendors were in denial. However now the issue is well
recognised, and is being addressed. Sadly there is a delay
because Joe public is insisting on Vista compatibility, and
this is a commercial imperative with the mH boys. I am not
known as an apologist for shortcomings in commercial
products, but both products are imo outstanding. Just
disable one of the cores and the problems will disappear. I
can also vouch for the fact that you will notice no
difference in the performance of your dual core processor,
which makes me dubious about the hype for this hardware.


Oh did I mention, I have absolutely co connection with
either product, just a totally convinced user thereof.

No problem.

Mine packed in 4 times... each time doing something
different. The first
time it started sending gibberish. The second time I got
truncated macros
with a tx lock-up. The next time is sent parts of the macro
twice and the
last time it truncated until the ESC button was pressed but
didn't lock up
the transmit.

Simply restarting the router and N1MM never did the trick
either time. I had
to completely reboot.

Good luck with it.
