Now I've got two approaches and no one guaranteeing anything 'cept my warranty will be void - which it has been for some time. Well Commodore and Supra - what am I suppose to do? Fortunately getting rid of Word Perfect seems to have helped more then anything. George, Are you suggesting that if I ground all four pin 10s together and go for the ground on the daughterboard at the negative capacitor terminal and then down to the negative point on the motherboard that I WILL creat new trouble by making these four points on the PALS common when they MUST float separated in some "logical" fashion? I'm not afraid of the experiment at all but I think that Commodore, 3rd party vendors, and "hackers anonymous" ought to come to agreement on this sort of modification. Should I approach Supra that there is nothing wrong with the Commodore and they need to buffer or whatever their Supra interface? Is it complex or expensive to modify the interface to include the buffering? Oh, well... Looks like this subject could warm up again - to bad! BTW, can I get through to Commodore now? I tried 2 weeks last and the tech line was busy throughout the day. What are the new numbers if any? I heard at the Disneyland Commodore Show that Tech Support was being expanded on. *Bilbo* Recombinant Hobbit * Sometimes The Dragon Wins! * INTERNET: bilbo@pnet02.CTS.COM UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd!crash, ihnp4!scgvaxd }!gryphon!pnet02!bilbo WHAT?:
