This happened to me when I bought my accelerator. 
The problem is a bug in the Allegro floating point emulation
code, to wit, it doesn't work on a 68020.  Mac IIs all come
with built in floating point chips, so the emulation code
was mostly intended for Pluses and SEs.  Coral (excuse me,
Apple) says it'll be fixed in the next release, due any day
now.  Work around:  buy a floating point chip.
