     My recent purchase of Bill's Boards, the continuing saga.....

Well, now I've got the BB's and a GVP Series-II SCSI +8 with 2meg
populated.  I added the new PALS in hopes of reducing noise problems.
I Grounded them heavilly.  The unit would see the ram but get errors
reading the hard disk to the point that you couldn't mount it.  I 
tried a friends A1000 and it worked a lot better.  It would let me
format and partition the drive but I still get errors on Reading/Writing 
that make it unusable.  
  
    ?????  1.  Is there any thing else I should try with the A1000.
               Someone mentioned putting a 68010 in because they
               have better bus characteristics.

           2.  If I were to buy a used 500 would I be facing the same
               problems?  (Is the expansion as bad on the 500?).

           3. Is my only recourse to scrap the whole thing and get
              an A2000???
