Funny thing... I'm having the same problem with my A500/Xetec combo.  IT works
fine on a machine without the fatter agnus, but change the chip, and..

 => GURU City <=

It seems to GURU on writes but not on reads.  Strange, so I backed up my
data and switched the Q105s on the FastTrak to the FastCard in my A2000.
Amazingly enough, all the data on the drive is intact, I use the FastCard
Plus with the Fatter Agnus with no problems.  And all partitions, data
etc. are retrieved intact.  :-)

Any comments, suggestions, etc.?
