I have an Amiga 1000 with a 2-meg Starboard. When I boot off my Workbench
diskette, the following lines are displayed-

Commodore-Amiga 1985,1986 (or something like that)
All Rights Reserved (ditto)
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````

And that's all she wrote. I can boot off of games with non-standard DOS
(i.e.Battle Squardron), but any disk with a normal DOS startup exhibits
the above described behavior. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is my
disk drive the problem(it seems to gronk more than usual). Any help will
be appreciated.

Thanks,
Vince Layton
