It works just dandy on my computer, an A1000 with a 1 MB Squeeze RAM memory hack installed internally (it is a $C00000 memory board which installs between the motherboard and the Kickstart tower). However, when the internal drive on my A1000 died recently, I borrowed a friend's A1000 system unit. I could not get the Starboard to work reliably with my friend's A1000 -- the system would consistently crash a few minutes after booting. I think the SBII itself is reliable, though you may find an occasional flaky A1000 it won't work with. -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "I'm very sorry, Master, but that WAS the backup system" -- Slave
