Tomas,
	I am sorry that my original message warning against some memory
boards arrived too late to save you your pain but....for others out there:

	ASK BEFORE SPENDING! There are many other instances of otherwise
``reputable'' manufacturers making pure drek for the Amiga. Since when does
making a board for a C64 make you a genuis hardware designer? 

	I will have an Allegra in a few days and will report what I find.
