Daryl,
Removing the two clips, and the Insider is all that nees to be done to
reverse the Insider installation. (gotta move the 68K too, but you did
that)
$C00000 memory will have no effect upon the splattered sprite problem.
It is possible that the Xetec memory board might have a problem, though if
the problem shows up the same way regardless of what order you load the
programs, I doubt its a memory chip problem.
Both the Agnus and the Denise are socketed, so temporaily replacing them
to test them isn't a real difficult problem. I would suggest taking the
machine to your local dealer to see if they can test the machine for you.
It is entirely possible to trash just a portion of the functionality of a
chip, so zapping the machine can show just about any concieveable symptom.
