Luke, The CPU lines are correct. Some A2000 motherboard will experience timing problems when remapping the Kickstart ROM with the caches on. I'm not sure what the ARP040FIX line is all about. As for being FULLY POPULATED, the BOARD will only support BURST mode when fully populated. Your caches will always work and turning on burst in SOFTWARE without the board being fully populated will make no difference. Hope this clears things up. GVP TECH
