>I wish I could figure out what's causing it to hang?!? Heh… you and me both. But at least it's non-fatal. As Steve has pointed out, I can simply leave a cart in the drive until I find a solution. Not like your problem, which made it difficult to do much that was useful, I'd imagine. Don't be too hard on GVP regarding the custom chips. I was involved in an Amiga project that used DMA. When the hardware was all finished and in beta test, we began finding bugs that turned out to be in the A3000's custom chips. In fact, the company I worked for at the time brought one of the bugs to C/A's attention. They didn't even know it existed, yet it rendered DMA almost useless in some circumstances. These bugs were fixed in the chips for the A4000, but darned if we didn't turn up some new ones in _that_ machine! The intent here is not to slam C/A; the Amiga is a complex machine and it's difficult to get everything perfect on the first pass. Rather, the message is that GVP saying "It's a problem in the Amiga" is probably not a matter of them trying to find a scapegoat; they were quite possibly bitten just as we were. Anyway, glad to hear it's all working properly now! Rick
