Re: DSC 832 - General System Failure

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, sort of ! I had an 864 with a multitude of things on it. One of the
guys kept pulling out the power supply for one of the modules which kept
giving me this trouble....hadda move the power supply to somewhere
inaccessible.

When I 902 and 903'd it, the problem went away every time. But the trouble
remained even after the power supply was plugged back in until you did
this......
