- I can't remember quite, I do know my system wouldn't BOOTUP all at, I beleive
- I was at least getting a Black Screen. When I removed the board the system
- was fine. Also one Major problem I was having was getting the Boards Pluged
- in Just right! Make sure when you Plug the 1291 board in that it didn't Push
- the Accelerator board out some on 1 end, I was having problems with this also,
- Make sure both boards are FULLY Pluged in. It looked like they were to me at
- first.
