Since I put an A590 on my A1000, I've been getting regular visits
from the Guru.  Specifically, 0000000B.00C0279A.  It's always
00C0279A.  I know that the B means "Line F (1111) Emulation", but
just what is line F emulation?  All the books I've found on the
68000 say something like "line A and line F emulation are beyond
the scope of this book, and you won't ever need to know about it
anyway."  Humph!  Do I have faulty memory at 00C0279A?  If I allocated
this RAM (somehow?) and didn't free it, would that keep other
programs from using it and thereby avoid the Guru?  Would grounding
my PALs help?  (I plan to do this anyway--Thanks Bill Dirks!)
The "C0.." memory is 1.5Mb on a Spirit Tech. board which pluggs into
the processor socket.  Is this unit Ok to use with the A590?  It's
worked fine for a couple of years without the disk.  I can live with
the occasional Guru, but my wife needs a reliable system and I would
really like to keep the hard disk.
   Comments and suggestions are welcome.
