He seems to feel that the Shield INIT (which is the one what crashes, not SFVol) is making some assumptions that are not true after SFVol loads (trap adresses, maybe...) The current work around (tested with SFVol INIT 1.5, but should work with 1.1 too.) is to change the name of SFVolINIT to Vol INIT so that it loads after Shield, and not before. If you do this, things work fine and you have both of them running. FLAME ON** There seems to be a number of INIT now in the bitstream that require them to be loaded in a certain order in relation to others. I would just like to put up this little flame to INIT writers (hey I write them too, I can flame!!) that they don't do things that they shouldn't, so that we don't have to figure out which order to load things!
