 I recently purchased the GVP A3001 Upgrade Kit (68030/25MHz and board)
for my Amiga A2000B (Revision 4.4). I had considerable difficulty
getting it to work, and finally shipped it back to the distributor, whom
claimed it was ok on their 2000.

 I've heard rumors that no A3001 kit has ever worked on the Revision 4
2000's (please don't let this be true!  :-(

 I would greatly appreciate any advice/comments regarding a fix or in
denial/validation of this nasty rumor!

 I might add, that after taking out the A3001 upgrade, I tried to boot
from my system with the following add-ons: 1.3 Chip ROM and Super Fat
Agnus with 2MBytes of chip ram, BUT no go, the machine dies after 5
minutes of marginal operation. Clearly, something else besides the GVP
board is screwed up, as well.

 Thank you in advance.
