From article <684@mailrus.cc.umich.edu:, by mike@shogun.cc.umich.edu (Michael Nowak):
: I have a CMI board installed on my 2000 and lately I see to have problems
: with applications using the serial port.  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.
