- Bill ... there was quite some discussion not to long ago on Fido about this
- very thing. I can not remember what the cause was but I know it was
- exclusive to the 3000.
-
- It seems a pal chip or something. There is some info in an A3000 faq on
- Aminet, but again, can't remember exactly. I will check and get the info to
- you email as I find it.
