Just what happens if you need to ground your PALs (or replace them) and
don't?  The reason I ask is that I just added a C Ltd. SCSI interface to
my A1000, which already had a StarBoard II.  I understand that there's a
fair chance that there will be problems with two SOTS boxes hanging off a
1000, but I haven't noticed anything wrong so far.  If I do have problems, what
sort of problems would they be?  What should I watch out for, and is
there anyway I can tell for sure?

Thanks,
