I happen to be the proud owner of the original CSA 68020 accelerator card
serial number 2.  However I happen to also be the not so proud owner of a
Starboard II 2meg/multifunction card.  The problem is that the Starboard II
refuses to work correctly with the CSA board.  I have contacted both companies
and what I get from CSA is that they have tried to get Microbotics to work
with them to fix the problem and have given up after several years of trying
the story I get from Microbotics is that once you install the '020 in the AMIGA
it is no longer an AMIGA and they will not be responsible for the consequences
of my actions.  No help is forthcoming from Microbotics and the fixes
recomended by CSA don't quite work (minor improvement but not full function)
Since I use my A1000 for video (3d rendering etc.) I need the speed increase
provided by the 68020 and I need the ram afforded by the Starboard.  I think
that Microbotics attitude is deplorable and have resolved not to buy any more
products made by this comapny (please feel free to join the boycott)
however much satisfaction that this gives me it does not solve my problem.
If anybody out there can help me I would appreciate it greatly.
