Every so often, it crashes and : on reboot, it gets stuck at the green screen. I do the three-finger : salute and then it comes up fine. Could the CMI board be causing this? : Accordging to a message I have from Bill Koester, green means BADROM. : That's always possible. When you have the system running at 14Mhz on the 2000 or 500, and you have the jumper (J1) installed, you're running the ROMs at 14Mhz also. I suppose some ROMs out there don't quite like the faster speed and would report errors. Try setting your default speed to 7 and removing the J1 jumper. That should fix it. Your board will think it's in a 1000 then. : : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : In Real Life: Michael Nowak : Workstation Consultant : U of M Computing Center User Services : Via Internet: mike@ninja.cc.umich.edu : Via UUCP: uunet!umix!ninja.cc.umich.edu!mike : : Working for but in no way representing the University of Michigan. : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It's too bad my news poster program won't let me have long .signatures... -- -Bill Seymour ...tektronix!reed!percival!agora!billsey ...tektronix!sequent!blowpig!billsey Creative Microsystems Northwest Amiga Group At Home Sometimes (503) 684-9300 (503) 656-7393 BBS (503) 640-0842
