This came from the article on bus termination. It said that many 
problems were solved by replacing the voltage regulators.

My H8 systems works very well, but I bought one on Ebay that had more 
troubles that I can count. I want to repair all the problems and put it 
back on sale on ebay.
I don't want to sell it to someone else with problems, I want it to work 
RIGHT.
