	Not *NEW* I have had this problem too! Again both on my 1000 and 2000
The machine starts up with 200+morerows not 256+morerows wb screen. The only
other prolem I hve had with the PAL Agnus is on my 1000 (Fake PAL?) when
I had my 2-meg board (sold it) the sprites would get v.confused in the lines
201-255+ of the screen, I could click on a icon move the mouse and have a 
pointer AND a Zzzz sprite. This only happened with the 2-meg board attached.
	Back to the problem with the startup only having 200 rows, I have been
unable to produce a sequence of actions to result in it. To date it happens
at unexpected moments and to attribute it to any action would only discover
what I use my Amiga for most.
	While on the subject of PAL screens would people please at least let
us use that xtra 56 lines! Thankyou to everyone who has supported PAL 
although I suspect supporting MoreRows has something to do with it. Thankyou!

	Does anyone out there have a solution to my persisting prolem with
the CSA 68020 board and the A2090 harddisk. The DMA for the HD collides(?) with
the 68020 card and the task stops. Is there any chance that changing my
B2000 rev. 4 for a rev 4.2 will help? Is 4.3 out? apparently 4.3 finally gets
the timing signals on the bus (ZorroII and CPU slot) to the same specs as the
A2000 boards. I have asked before but I'm still looking for a solution
If anyone has any advice or can tell me of a HDisk they have which works with
the CSA board I would be grateful. I know CSA make a HD but I can't see 
myself getting the most expensive HD on the market (ASDG rival claim?).

	Still trying to go fast and hard.
