A question mostly for Dave Haynie regarding SetCPU v1.5 although it and the
response should be of general interest to the net.  (This is a repost from
two weeks ago.  Apparently the first attempt did not get through since not a
reply did I receive, not emailed nor posted.)

Could you (or somebody) be the keeper of the bugs/patches, on the net.  This
would be a running list of known bugs in Amiga supplied software and the
names of known patch programs that will fix them.  You don't have to worry
about scaring off potential buyers because we are all committed Amiga lovers
to be on this net :-).  We understand bugs can exist.  Compared to the junk
published as software today, the Amiga is basically bug-free.  Good job
Amiga engineers. 

In particular, I need to know what the bug patches in SetCPU v1.5 are, so 
that I know what other patch programs I can throw away.  Did you know that 
with SetCPU patches installed, then PatchWB from the ARexx disk returns with 
an error value of 10.  (But only if ran from the startup-sequence along with 
SetCPU.)

While you're at it, maybe you or a co-worker can tell me how to get a hold of
technical update sheets to get my Amiga B2000 v4.4, A20902A, A2058, or
A2620 to their current level.  This hardware/ASIC designer long ago lost its 
warranty by playing with his machine.

    Is anybody able to talk and listen to IBM hardware designers the way
    we can with Dave, Randell, Carolyn, Paul, or others I don't recall
    offhand.  The ultimate in customer support.  Only Amiga makes it possible.
