    Last night I was running a dark and bias series and Something Happened.

    Normal 2x2 bias until the next one came through with horizontal streaks. All following 2x2 bias show this same streaking. Attached is a cropped example; streaking extends all the way across the image.

    1x1 bias is saturated all the way across. Crop is attached.

    .4 sec darks show the same - 1x1 is saturated, 2x2 is streaked.

    Light frames are normal; nothing unusual.

    All of this behavior continues this morning - seems stable.

    All of this behavior is the same regardless of software used to run camera - Maxim DL, CCDOPS, or Sequence Generator Pro. Computer is Win7 Pro.

    Camera drivers and firmware are current.

    What broke?
