The first thing I'd try is various pad type assignments. I think that 
I ended up with misc. 2, if I'm not mistaken.

Three people have recently expressed trouble (see SEA's post before 
yours and Creighton Higgins a week or so ago). Don't do anything 
drastic yet. I hope those who have had more success with the Zenbals 
will offer some suggestions. We can always ask Brian about it, too. 
He's working a little bit with the DTXPIII module for the new Zenbals 
and PCs. Maybe he can hook one up himself and duplicate the problems.
