- : I think your looking at a more serious problem. Assuming the Denise chip

- Late model A2000s did in fact come with ECS denises installed, as I have
- a customer with 12 Amigas, 6 of which were from the last
- batch, all came with 2.1 OS and ECS chipset, including an 8375 NTSC
- Agnus set for 2 Meg, and we had to change all the machines to 1 Meg
- cause they kept crashing.

- I'd check all the chips in another machine, see what does and doesn't work,
- then I'd suspect the video hybrid if all the chips are good.
