Jay, I got same indications with the BBBE. Put the cards in another Amiga and they were faultless. All my apparent hardware trouble was apparently caused by garbage on the bus. If you can try the 2052 in another Amiga, dothat before you start pulling chips. Might add that my A500 is located in an area of very high RFI and microwave transmissions (just my luck to be nextdoor to the CIA), but pullingg the terminator pack seems to have worked. Rob.

Rob, I don't believe my problem could be caused by the terminating resistor, but I'm willing to try anything! (except desoldering chips to find the bad one:) so I'll try it now and let you know. The problems with the HD and the gurus and such seem to be caused by that problem in address 002019A2, I do get the same problems (except the HD one) with the interface removed from the pass-thru, so that would lead me to believe that it's not a bus conflict problem, just a flaky chip (yes, the one at address 002019A2!) Now, if I could only find out which chip!!! (or is that chip-which?) Good idea, tho, to test it in another machine, I'll try that next. So what's it like to live next to the CIA? With all those high-level signals it's a wonder that your machine works at all! I could just picture some agent with some high-tech monitoring equipment picking up Dragon's Lair from your machine and screaming "swing your sword, Dirk, swing it!" -Jay
