Are there any problems with Progressive Peripherals ProRAM 2000 boards and Rev 4.5 motherboards, are there any problems with the board in general,... If PP's 8 MB RAM board is an ASDG board, then yes there are lots of problems. I also owned an 8 MB RAM board from ASDG. When I upgraded my machine to Fat Agnus, I got many guru errors when attempting to write data to my hard disk (I have a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive hardcard). Setting Mask and MaxTransfer parameters in the mountlist for the disk drive partitions failed to fix the problem. At the Memory Location dealership, they tried installing every other kind of 8 MB RAM board they had in the store--Commodore's, Supra's, etc. With any of these RAM boards, the Overdrive hardcard worked flawlessly. Only with the ASDG RAM board did I get guru errors on writing to the Overdrive hardcard. In the end, I was forced to replace the ASDG RAM board with some other board (I bought a Supra), and have had no problems since. (BTW, the ASDG RAM board is for sale; any takers?)
