I have a problem which I hope some of you hardware guys can help me with. I have an Amiga 1000 with a Starboard (1Meg) and a Supra SCSI interface attached to a Seagate 277N 63 Meg hard drive. The problem is they don't seem to work together. When they are both attached the system crashes and requires a cold start (asks for Kickstart) to get it going again. Assuming this was the infamous PAL problem I took the machine in and had the PALs grounded. This made the problem a little better, but it eventually degraded to the point where I couldn't do anything. I talked to Supra tech support and they recommended a different method of grounding. I had that done with the same results. I'd appreciate any advice before I sink more money into this. Has anyone had a similar problem? What is the next step? One solution might be to get the RAM boards which go inside the Supra interface, but they don't make them anymore. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks. Bill Crabb/exit
