[DSP-10] Restarting the DSP-10

[Courtney Duncan]

Interestingly, I have never had this work, but never seriously looked 
at it until just now.  After reading the "readme" file I tried 
senddolr.exe before restarting uhfa and sure enough, it did the 
trick.  When uhfa catches the dsp it goes mute while it loads, then 
restarts into the configuration that uhfa was exited in.

My box uses the original EZLITE which must be loaded by EZFAST or 
equivalent.  The 2nd DSP-10 here has a DSPx with it.  Lyle will 
certainly get to that on his list before I get my next box built!

I am ready to put my UHF3 in PROM (tired of the music and the 
reloads).  I see at http://www.proaxis.com/%7Eboblark/dsp10.htm where 
I can download the object code for this, but am not set up to burn 
EPROMs myself.  Does anyone on here do this (like for a nominal fee, 
or pro bono)?
