Wayne: *********** BINGO!!! **************** Check this out: 3.System3.1:> version c:setpatch setpatch 40.16 3.System3.1:> setpatch nocache Amiga Operating System Copyright 1985-1993 Commodore-Amiga, Inc. All Rights Reserved. SetPatch (V40.16) has been installed. Patch list: Enabled Advanced Graphics Modes graphics/WriteChunkyPixel() patched Memory Pools 3.System3.1:> cpu cache System: 68030 68882 (INST: Cache NoBurst) (DATA: Cache NoBurst) 3.System3.1:> Well, we've got the culprit nailed down. SetPatch is trying to enable BURST mode on the CPU, and the memory chips can't handle it! This means that I really have to inspect that RAM. I will do it this weekend. Thanks for mentioning the SETPATCH NoCache switch…. I didn't think of it (actually, that must be a new switch, as I was not aware of it). I will let you know what I find "under the hood" Thanks a LOT <you win what's behind door #3…>! — Dave
