I just got a A3001 board running at 28mhz, and when I try to boot from I ALF auto boot controller, it crashes, when I boot from floppy it works fine, I don't think that the problem lies in my startup-sequence unless it is my setcpu command which reads, Setcpu Fastrom Cache Burst, it used to read the same thing except that the CardRom command was place at the end, I took that out because I didn't know the ROM specs. for my controller. Occasionally, my computer will boot from the HDisk but then it crashes whenever I try to run a program. If any one has had these problems and can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Paddy Hannon 73437,1474

I know about this problems with the ALF controller, as we have many of them here in germany. Ralph Babel, who is involved in developing the software for GVP, spoked with Oliver Kastel, who is responsible for the ALF software. Oliver promised to work on this problem, but unfortunately this ALF-guys are not professional like GVP. I heard that Oliver was thrown out of the Amiga developers group by CBM, cause spreading 1.4 stuff. Ralph is at GVP the next two weeks, I suggest to call him there. Give him my hello, as he doesn't know, that I'm working on CIS in the Amiga forum. Andreas Hoffmann 100021,45

Yhanks! I just called GVp and hopefully they get me in touch with him, I also called Pre'spect the c ompany which distribust ALF here, and hopefully they can solve my problems. Too bad they aren't very professional (ALF) because they make a great product which be very popular here in the US all they have to do is learn how to market their products and get them into stores, especially mail or der places.
