Hello! 

	I'm the guy with the static-zapped SIDStation who you've been
helping generously by sending me the PAL file.  Well I want to let you know
that I made myself two new PAL's, and also replaced the 5V regulator. 
Unfortunately, even though the voltage is back to normal, the poor thing
still doesn't run!  In fact, it's just like before.

	So I checked the flash data out a little bit.  Even though the reset
vector of the 68hc11 is 0xfffe, I saw 0xffff there.  But I noticed an 0x8000
at address 0x7ff0, along with a number of other vectors at the top of
0x7f00.  So I'm guessing that part of the flash is ok, and you have the
flash mapped to the upper 32K of memory?  Does that all sound correct?

	Another alarm is that there are a large number of blank regions (all
0xff) in my flash chip.  I wanted to ask if perhaps I was missing a large
chunk of memory.  I've listed the blank regions below:

0x02624-0x03800   all 0xff
0x07153-0x07fe0   all 0xff
0x08000-0x1ffff   all 0xff

	Perhaps you could send me a binary image of the flash chip, and I
could compare it, and re-burn it if necessary?  BTW, how much do you charge
to fix these things?

Thank you,
