Hi all,

In our usual quest to gather data on our runs, we used our GEEZ cube and 
rusty Palm M100.  Although we got 4 runs each, the machine only recorded 6 
total runs for us (my wife and myself.  The odd thing was that two of the 
runs recorded something like 221 and 170 ETs, while the other 4 were in 
the more normal 60 to 80 range.  When attempting to read these files, I 
got the following errors; 

Floating point operation
Floating point division by zero
Invalid floating point operation.  

The course screen opens to a black box (no course trace) and the 
acceleration trace box is just a single small white box.  

The run between these two long runs is a run that has an 80 ET.  When I 
open it, though, the course trace is a series of straight lines.  The 
lateral acceleration trace looks like something off an oscilloscope while 
the Acceleration tract is a low amplitude sine wave that is centered 
around the zero line.  

The other three runs look to be okay.  The 'bad' runs were the first three 
recorded. This is after I reset the options to the settings the Byron 
suggests (which always worked well for us before).  Any idea what is going 
on?

Thanks.
