It seemed to crash more than I expected it to (one reason that I moved from a 2000 to a 3000. I figured it'd be more stable). No such luck. It seemed to crash when I was doing things that would never crash the 2000 (like run my version of 'ls', mainly on the root of a disc). A week or so later, I moved the 1MB of RAM to the Chip section, and added 4MB of 1MBx4 Static ZIPs. I checked and rechecked the contacts to the chips, and every thing was ok. When I booted it, it cam up with a yellow screen during the boot, then it just kept cycling through the boot and coming back to the yellow. When I power cycled it, and selected kickstart 1.3, it came up Ok. The avail command reported 512K less than 6MB. I figured that was due to the ROM. I checked the seating of the chips about 10 times, and could find nothing wrong. Any ideas? Sean -- From the desk of Sean Reifschneider. Isn't Amiga UUCP great?
