I think you've done an admirable job of picking out the problems. About the only one I can think of is that memory above 16M isn't available to Zorro-II DMA, so you better make sure your disk buffers are allocated below that if you do direct disk I/O on a 2000 with a 68020 and over 16M RAM. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
