I am using the KCS v 1.5 with my Mega4 and had had problems with it on my
mono monitor. Various option windows opened at an incredibly slow speed with
each line of text showing up after every few seconds!
         
Thought the problem was with trying to boot off a Hard Drive. Used original
floppy. Still same problems. 

Then tried to use without blitter. No luck. Same problems. Even worse.

Thought it would work better with Color. Tried. Sure enough it refused to boot
with blitter on. Turned blitter off. Ran again. Now instead of option window
opening slowly the system just crashes and no less than 7 or 8 bombs show up!

What is more intriguing is that when I turn off the Hard Disk and use the 
Mega4 alone even if I have saved a Medium Resolution Desktop the system
ALWAYS boots up in LOW resolution......no matter what disk I put in.

Is that a TOS 1.2 problem or what? I previously have never had these
problems with my 520ST and later 1040ST.

HELP!

Imran
