How do you like the Spectrum board ??? I'm thinking of getting
one for my A1200T.

O.K. Very good idea that you removed those. The new OS 3.5
"SetPatch" program can do all that stuff for you, except the
CopymemQuicker.

You do have a problem here. REMOVE the NewIcons program and
replace DefIcons with DefIcons44 (note the version number) from
Aminet. The new OS 3.5 workbench.library and icon.library can
read and display NewIcons format icons, so you don't need the
actual NewIcons program running any more.

These are of no consequence. No problems here.

These are probably both related to the conflicting icons
programs. See suggestions above.
