List in reverse chronological order:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : D257, C811, (C757), C933
             connected to chamber
             EEL2C01, EOL1C07, (EOL2C09), EEL1A11
DATE       : 8/11 Feb 2012
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Increased the CSM-ADC serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds,
 because of regular and intermittent problems with CSM monitoring:
 seen immediately when checked, and seems to be solved by this parameter
 change. (EOL2C09 done on request: only Mezz #2 T-sensor seen faulty).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : B429
             connected to chamber
             BMS4A02
DATE       : 2 Nov 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Increased the CSM-ADC serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds
 (problem reported with CSM ELTX may or may not have something to do with it:
  if it doesn't help, it doesn't harm).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : C118
             connected to chamber
             BIS7C14
DATE       : 18 Oct 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Increased the CSM-ADC serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds
 (problem reported with CSM ELTX may or may not have something to do with it:
  if it doesn't help, it doesn't harm).
 Also had a problem with a B-sensor 'bad' the night before;
 increased bit-time for B-sensor ADCs (OD index 2500h, sub 22) from 10 to
 20 microseconds (1 Nov 2011: doesn't seem to help; still bad<->okay)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : B960
             connected to chamber
             BIS6A04
DATE       : 17 Sep 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Had 2 B-sensors that stopped working; a CAN-bus powercycle did not help;
 immediately afterwards tried with increase of the serial communication
 bit-time for B-sensor ADCs (OD index 2500h, sub 22) from 10 to 20 microseconds
 (stored it in the configuration) and this recovered the sensors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : B981
             connected to chamber
             BIL2C07
DATE       : 14 Sep 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Increased the CSM-ADC serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds
 (problem reported with CSM ELTX may or may not have something to do with it:
  if it doesn't help, it doesn't harm).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : B877, C558
             connected to chambers
             BOL6C01, BIL1C03
DATE       : 4 Sep 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Increased the CSM-ADC serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds
 to prevent recurring CSM-ADC errors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : xxxx
             connected to chamber
             BIM1A15 
DATE       : 1 Sep 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 CSM was replaced due to faulty CSM-ADC, and things seemed to work initially 
 but soon ADC time-outs occurred, so the serial communication bit-time
 was increased (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : B864, C703, D045
             connected to chambers
             BOS5C04, EOL2A09, EIL4A03
DATE       : 23 Aug 2011
DESCRIPTION: (fixed in-situ)
 Some error reported concerning FE-ELTX monitoring at least once
 in the past few weeks, so increased the serial communication bit-time
 (OD index 2101h, sub 20) from 75 to 85 microseconds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 except C934/EIL2C15: increased to 85 (as a test).

MODULE S/N : B812

 this time the ELMB (micro) is not the problem.
 Waiting for connector resoldering on MDT-DCS motherboard

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : C884
DATE       : 13 Nov 2006

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : C324
DATE       : 07 Sep 2006
DESCRIPTION:
 Module received from Laurent Chevalier.
 "ELMB dead?" according to error report.
 However, nothing wrong was found.
 (the T-sensor ADC was disabled in the configuration).
 Configuration reset and module added to stock.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : XXX
DATE       : 07 Sep 2006
DESCRIPTION:
 Module received from Laurent Chevalier.
 Problem: suddenly stopped working (dead, according to report).
 The node was not dead, and reporting EEPROM errors and behaving strangely
 when trying to read out data; ELMBloader reveiled that the EEPROM
 was corrupted, i.e. part of it was partly overwritten with hex value AE;
 no idea how this can happen; due to a bug in MDT-DCS firmware version 2.3.9
 (but fixed in later versions), the strange behaviour was observed;
 fixed by clearing the configuration, i.e. erasing the EEPROM.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : D116,B622,C334,C235,D169,C241
DATE       : Aug 2006 (fixed Oct 2006)
DESCRIPTION:
 JTAG not working for all of these modules (see also 2 problem reports, below)
 It was found that one microprocessor digital I/O pin (used as digital
 out 'Reprogram-FPGA', on the JTAG connector) was faulty;
 reason unknown, but could have something to do with the connection
 to the CSM and faulty DIP-switch setting there (e.g. after reprogramming).
 Fixed by replacing the ELMB module:
 D116 --> D523
 B622 --> D421
 C334 --> D247
 C235 --> D795
 D169 --> D310
 C241 --> D293
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 this module reincarnated as Serial Number D378.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODULE S/N : C449
