Hmm... haven't you looked into setup PT ? There is this little switch:
Timing : VBlank or CIA ;) . you can set that to default by saving those
prerences as number 00 (that's the one that is automatically loaded).
Besides I tested PT1.1b in an environment where there was CED running with
PT1.1b and it worked just fine. Ok, you can't change the PTscreen with 
LeftAmiga+N/M (whatever) but you can use `/~ insteads (above TAB key, you
know) :) Only thing I got it crash when I started playing with Xoper :)
But tell me a program that stays up and running when you do what you want
with Xoper ;)

Yep, when I make music I make music and nothing else. But when I'm not making
music I do a lot more too...

Whatever you want... Sorry for wrong word, but I just couldn't think anything
better at the moment.
