Hmm.. SIMMs? Cheap & nasty SIMMs can cause that in some accelerators, but I
haven't seen it in a Blizzard. No, you're right - broken.

EMail DCE (who once claimed they'd fix PPC boards, but
then they haven't managed to make any new ones yet have
they? http://www.dcecom.de/) and you might get a reply, but as nobody else
ever has I wouldn't bet on it really.

I wiggle my fingers, do you not see this? Republic credits will be fine (nice
exchange rate on the punt this time of year).
>Cor blimey, what a strangely appropriate tagline!
My Amiga has been switched on continually for 5 years[1], and it's developed
an intelligence. Hence I no longer use taglines for fear of what it says
next. Especially randomly generated tags such as Spewtag can be quite scary..
