I received CSA's 68020 accelerator as a gift for Christmas.  It was
just what I needed to speed up my PageStream desktop publishing program
(love it, but it's painfully slow).  Unfortunately, I found after 
installing it in my A2000 and firing it up...a blue screen.  Whipping
out my back issues of comp.sys.amiga articles, I found that blue screen =
"bad custom chips."  

I reinstalled the MC68010 chip and the machine booted up fine. Then I 
carefully reinstalled the CSA daughterboard in the 68000 slot again and got
the blue screen again. 

The sexy female voice on the CSA answering machine told me that nobody would
be there until 2 January 1990. 

Anybody else have one of these things?  Anyone else have this problem?

Writing manuals for the DoD, I am painfully aware of ESD (although the part was
in an ESD bag, the little manual contained no ESD cautions) and I don't
think that this is the problem as I took adequate precautions. 

Thanks for any help that may be forthcoming.

Here's hoping that all the amigoids received an adequate supply of blank
disks and wonderful software for Christmas...
