- I wonder how many others are having this problem??? I'd like to Email the
- phase 5 guys and the CyberGfx authors but I can't find Email addresses in any
- documentation.

- Troels mentioned a mailing list: does anyone know anything about this, and how

- Me as well. So far, things seem OK on my setup (A4000/040, 18 MB RAM, CV 64 @
- MB version, CyberGfx latest aminet versions), but I have dropped the pixel
- rate from 64 to 57 KHz. I don't want to drop any further if at all possible.
-
- Are you able to define a set of common circumstances under which your system
- dies?? Mine tends to crash after an input event like a keypress or a mouse
- click. No programs identifiable as culprits. Seemingly random (as my
- original post).
-
- Let me know how yours works out....
