I recently attempted to use an Orchid ProdesignerII SuperVGA board with
my Bridgeboard, to no avail.  I get rolling images, as if the vertical
hold wasn't set right.  Or sometimes the monitor gives up entirely and
doesn't show anything.  I've tried every possible combination of switches
and jumpers on the Orchid (there are  two compatibility switch/jumpers,
and one which enables/disables IRQ2) and no go.  Here's my hardware:
A2000 rev. 4.5, Sony CPD-1302 Multiscan, A2088 XT bridge, AST Six-Pack
Plus (w/384k ram), Tandy 20 MB Hardcard, Microbotics 8-up DIP memory
board w/2MB installed, ICD AdSCSI2000 HD controller, Seagate/Imprimis
ST-1239N/94350-230S SCSI drive on the Amiga side, 512k chip ram, version
04 of the BB roms.

Has anyone had these problems?  I even tried taking out the PC hardcard
and multifunction card, but it didn't help.  Could it be the old BB
Bios isn't compatible?  I know C= has new roms at least version 06.

Ideas?  Your assistance would be highly appreciated!
