I have a problem with my starboard II on my A1000 I can get it to reconize 1MB ok but go to 2MB and i get all kinds of errors i have been told i could solder the ground pins on the AMIGA PALS to a better ground or even replace the PALS with some new "better" brand. the question is does anyone know where the ground pins are on the CBM PALS or do you know where i can find the "better" PALS at a good price. thanks for the help in advance -Jason Irwin 71550,130

Jason, I have a SBII that was on my 1000 until I got a 2000, at which point I stuck it in there. I only have 1M stuffed so far. I have seen notices that you must populate the whole board with memory chips of the same access time, such as 150ns. Even if some chips are faster (better), apparently the difference in access times can screw up the buss. Just thought I'd mention this in case this has been the case on your board. You should receive other replies re: PALS from other folks. Good luck, Karl

I just got a StarBoard II 1mb and I am having trouble loading Dungeon Master. I did the check on the Setup disk and everything was fine. Everytime I load Dungeon Master I get a software failure. I think Dungeon Master needs Kickstart 1.2 but starboard uses version 1.1. Any suggestions. thanks Neil
