Given a Delete the RAMFAST.DRIVER and it should work until you can call Zip and get an RMA number. Zip knows what the problem is, and they should have the new boards in by now. >choice, I use my Apple //gs. But in real life, Amiga has better sound than >a ROM1 machine. This may not be true for a ROM3 however... Welp, the difference here is that the Amiga has four voices with on board stereo, and the IIgs has 15 or more voices WITHOUT on board stereo. If you get a good stereo amplifier for the GS (like the AE sonic blaster) then the GS's sound is far from noisy. I routinely play soundsmith songs with a sonic blaster though my box or my headphones and it isn't noisy at all. The tinny internal GS speaker, however, is a joke. It's there because educators who buy GS's don't care about 15 voice sound quality. Even so, the ROM 03 is far more noise-free than the ROM 01 (I've talked to the ROM 03 engineers).
