I can now duplicate the problem at will. It seems that the MW dir is in the
ROMs right between format and copy. On a cold start dir DOES NOT appear in the
modules directory. However, after a 'break' or if I reset the computer by
pressing 'reset' quickly, or after the computer re-boots itself becuase of a
system crash the dir DOES appear. However, if I cold start or hold 'reset' for
a full second it doesn't. I checked with debug and dir is in the ROM (even when
it doesn't show up). But for some reason it hasn't been mapped it. I've solved
the problem by setting the revison byte of my new dir to 2 and then doing a
'load dir' in my startup. That way it'll always be loaded in. But I sure don't
understand why it is ignored in the ROM sometimes.... Maybe a flakey ROM? How
about some of you hardware experts?
