- Believe me they are!
- You were lucky! Ramiga imported an early version which has problems,
- yours apparently is from a later revision which has cured some of the
- faults.

- Can't help there, the 1200 version only has one jumper which maps
- the kickstart to fastrom.
- There is something, possibly with the DMA access of the Cyberstorm,
- that causes a few problems. I can no longer access either my CDrom
- or harddrive on a Squirrel scsi interface in the PCMCIA slot. The
- system can see the drives but will not recognise them. Even using
- ScsiMounter I get "Error: Invalid Rigid Disk Block" from the HD, I
- can however play Audio CD's but not over the SCSI bus. I've tried
- reinstalling software etc. but no go.

- In both cases no expansion boards are shown, although there's a MFCIII
- and a PicolloSD64 in the zorro slots. Both show when there is nothing
- in the trapdoor slot.

- desperate, and hoped maybe someone could help :-(((
