Redmond, Two things I'd like to ask you about: Whenever I warm boot my machine, I need to initiate it twice. The first time it resets, but hangs at the dark grey/black screen and sits like a lump. Then I need to give it the old "Vulcan Death Grip" again to get it to reboot completely. This has been very consistent. Also, have you ever received any reports that the socket for your custom logic chip is too tall? When the board is plugged in and the edge of the board is hooked on the plastic clip, the shell is forced to bow over the socket. In other words, the height of the pc board added to the height of the chip socket is greater than the distance from the inside of the clip and the inside of the shell. My 1200 has a definately pregnant look to it now. So pregnant, in fact, that the right front foot of the shell no longer rests on my desk. Not good. Performance-wise, I have not a single comment other than – "stellar!" Any thoughts? Joe – A1200 '030 50MHz '882 50MHz 6MB RAM
