Another problem we have found with A1000s is that the 68000s in them are often weak, if not downright faulty. You should check to see if your 68000 is a Motorola one, or made by someone else. If it is, you should replace it. It's probably worth replacing it anyway, as they can be bought for around $10. Jon -- | Jonathan Potter | | Life is like a piece of | | P.O.
