The old Fat Agnus + 1.2 ROMs had a problem when the Amigen was hooked up.
The result was that programs using the vertical-blank timer run half as
fast and the mouse pointer flickered so bad that it was transparent.

With the 1-meg Agnus and 1.3 ROMs, the problem is gone.  (In fact, I
had forgetten about it and did not realize that I had left the AmiGen
connected for two days.)  Now I can keep the AmiGen connected all the
time, so that it can be employed without having to power off the Amiga.
