MDM Trouble Report for 2001 Nov 28

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Chris Gerardy (Dartmouth)
Instrument: TIFKAM

Problem(s) Encountered:
MORE Trouble with IC computer...

When I got up this afternoon, prospero was complaining of the
following error:
	IC: Error: Port Buffer Overflow.  Port #1

Prospero was unable to communicate with the IC, although the IC
seemed to still be running, as it was still reading out in movie
mode.  Had to hard re-boot the IC, as the keyboard wasn't 
responding to ctrl-alt-del.  
Then, after restarting everything and beginning a run of flats,
the same thing happened a few minutes later.  This time I noticed
error messages in caliban and on the IC.
Caliban:
	IN: IC > AL ERROR: Port Buffer Overflow, Port #1
IC:
	Error 15 at Address 341803
and a whole slew of  Port 1 is not Available  messages.

Currently it's running again, (for about 10 min or so...) but
clearly something is unstable.
