After trying various things with help from PP&S, and returning the board to them for inspection, I FINALLY got it to work properly, but had to "seat it" twice (two "snaps"). Everything now works. Maybe it was just the onboard memory address lines that weren't fully connected – I don't know. AVAIL now reports the proper information. I ALMOST wish the 68040 did NOT have a COPY BACK mode – this one mode seems to cause headaches with more software packages than any of the other caches. Oh well – test 'em and remember 'em (which uses what). – Using Whap! (from Southern Illinois) (Internet: ca0008@siucvmb.siu.edu)
