   You're luckier than me.  I had those same problems the day after I plugged
in the Genlock device.  For the moment it just sits beside my amiga, awaiting
the moment I could test it alone (the unexpected "bombs" are quite nasty
when you're develloping softwares...).

   Now it seem's that those problems are not limited to my Genlock unit... Is 
there somebody out there that could possibly help us out?  

   (I don't know if it's relevant, but my amiga is also equipped with a
    sidecar...)
