Has anyone ever gotten a Data Abort Fault error? I got it last night when I turned my 1150 on. It's a blank screen with a drop down with the words, and a bunch of memory location numbers. It went away when I reset the unit, but I'm wondering if it's a sign that reader is going to die soon. I got my ETI-2 a bit over two years ago, and for most of that time it's been okay, though not perfect. About two out of three times I hit the power button, the unit won't turn on, and I have to hit the reset button and try again, at which point it works. (I'm quite good at this now, and can quickly do it in total darkness, using a plastic covered paper clip I store in the memory slot compartment.) I can live with having to hit reset, but if the unit's likely to die, I should probably be looking for a replacement....
