I've emailed Atmel.  I suspect a chip has undergone a dies shrink and
now there's a timing spec that's violated, unless I've got 2-3 boards
all with the same hardware problem.

I'll look through the EBI timing setup and the chip requirements when I
get another moment.

Thanks for your help in the diagnosis.  It was good just to know that
others are using this without such problems.

Regards,
James.
