[1000mp] temporary fix for the MP relay

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 07:32:26 -0600

If you know which relay it is...please advise.
Because there are a bunch of relays, and tapping one does not necessarily mean you got the
right one.
It's a PITA, I can solder (read that as 'mess up') with the best of them.
But figuring out which one it is.
Anybody who knows which one(s) I should shoot for can feel free to advise.
