After further experience, I realized that all that happened is that the Kronos controler does not like to live elsewhere than in the first expansion slot. When I put it in the 2nd one (w or w/o the SUPRA RAM board), screen blanks very soon and keyboard does not seem to work any more (except for C-A-A), but MED still plays music and DF0: still clicks, and when put in the third one, things get even worse (the described phenomenon in my previous posting). So I moved the Kronos back to the first slot, the SUPRA RAM board to the second slot, and left the bridgboard in the 4th one. But then again I get those weird colored squares on the the PC screen when I try to run AMouse. That doesn't seem to be the case when the Kronos is in the second slot, but then I can't really tell because the computer freezes soon. I would really like to put RAM in slots before the controler, because the controler would then use expansion and not (dear) chip mem. Any hints appreciated, Joerg. - please use this address for posting: - hoehle@cs.uni-sb.de
