Speaking of which... my M4 9914 is sick. It works at 1600 and 6250, but not 
800 & 3200. It *IS* supposed to work at 800 & 3200. I talked to a company 
that does repair, and they said it is most likely the "ADP" board inside the 
unit. Of course they wanted an obscene price for a new ADP board.

Does anyone have a junque 9914 that they'd be willing to yank the boards out 
of for me as a trade or cash?
