Any kind of help is appriciated ! On a related note, I have a friend that removed his daughter board, (he is already running the kickstart eliminator). To do this he said he used the ORGINAL pals from before the eliminator. This has quieted his machine down enough that he can now get his Lucas to run. He is still trying to get the Lucas and his insider to co-exist. Each will work with out the other, but when both are installed the first access to the insider locks things up or gurus (I don't remember which). I hope Dave or someone else comments on your "unsupported" mod to the A1000, as I am interested also in putting 1.3/2.0 proms in my A1000. E-mail to Dave has met with silence on this subject, but then it is a machine no one uses - right! Monty Saine
