I would like to thank everyone who took the time to reply to my request
for information regarding Amiga 1000 memory expansion; 
the response was tremendous!
	I purchased the Starboard II principally for its ease of 
installation and for the considerable praise given to it by owners of the 
board.  It seems that more people own the Starboard than any of 
the internal boards, although these internals have several ardent supporters.
	
	The reason that I am writing is that my 1000 does not work with the 
Starboard; it sometimes locks up and other times sends me back to the Kickstart
screen.  The board itself is appears to be o.k. because it works fine on a 
friend's machine.

	I called Microbotics and they told me that the problem might be due
to improperly grounded PALs in the amiga.  Has this problem happened to anyone
else?  Is there a way to fix this?  Will using an internal board avoid this
defect?  The local dealer wants $75 just to look at the machine, on top of 
repair charges - which I think is a bit much if I can repair it myself.

	I was told that Amazing Computing vol. 3 num. 3, 1988 ran an article
on how to increase the reliability of the bus with "do-it-yourself" 
modifications.  Does anyone have this issue and could they send me a
photocopy of this article?  I have sent away for the entire magazine from A.C.
but it will take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive; if I need to return it, the mail order
company probably will not take it back after more than two weeks.

Please E-mail your responses to save space on the network.

						Once again, thanks.
