actually it happens when I use the boilerplate WITHOUT any modifications, and 
also when I modify the code to set the irq to high z at ALL times.  I have been 
making some progress by doing a total re-write but trying to use the 
boilerplate as a reference for what the input timings are.  right now I get a 
data error about once per 100k cycles, so I am still looking,  The error is in 
the fl_d_pad[7..0], my read strobe is not quite timed right.  Anyway, with my 
total re-write, and dma and irqs set as input pins, aand the data bus drivers 
controlled by bd_oe, the FPGA has yet to hang the cpu.  On the other hand I 
don't have a working register yet sooo.
