This will be interesting. I have a 64-bit laptop, rehearsals scheduled for Wednesday-Friday nights, and a show to do next Saturday night.

I was hoping to spend these past two weeks testing and helping shake out bugs. But, alas, I lost all of last week wrestling with the awful interrupt routing on the laptop, and then got stymied by the presence of the dreaded Ricoh chip. 

I have lost yet another week waiting for a (hopefully non-Ricoh!) ExpressCard to arrive. It's supposed to show up on Tuesday. I'll lose a day probably figuring out how to get cajole the ExpressCard into getting onto its own interrupt line-- if that's even possible, then off I go into rehearsals. 

As Aerosmith used to say: Livin' on the edge.

FreeBoB died at startup on this 6-bit machine. I haven't filed any bug reports because the thing has the Ricoh chip and it's on a massively-shared interrupt: I don't want to waste Pieter's time chasing down problems that are due to the hardware and not his code.

I suppose the (32-bit) Mac Mini will have to serve as my backup plan instead.

Anyway, if anyone has a few minutes to fire up their spiffy 64-bit dual-core machine, and confirm that FreeBoB works on it, it'd be a big help to me.
