Shepherd, glad to you hear you solved your problem.

Your testing sounds reasonably exhaustive per your 
circumstances. Would suggest replacing your NPE-300 with one 
that isn't defective if you have a chance. Note that this 
board is now EoL/EoS, and as such, you can't buy it new from 
Cisco. You can only get it on the refurbished market.

The NPE-400 or later are still current, in case you require 
Cisco support in the future.

Also note that the last supported "current" release of IOS 
for this platform (NPE-300) is 12.3(3)i - used to be 
12.3(10)b, but that has since been deferred. That said, I've 
run later code without problems, up to 12.3(22), I think, 
although I'd recommend treading carefully if you need to run 
something more current.

Cheers,

Mark.
