Does Voyager Flash plugin work for you now? it don't seem to get detected
for me? :(

is the hires display the one built into the flash which just writes direct
to the Bvision mem to 'emulate' the bootmenu on a gfx card? t save you
using a scan doubler? if so it may be an idea to add a 'wait' command in
your startup-sequence then?

What do you mean by "with warup" ?? How is Warpup being used during
boot-up and starting workbench? do you have the Warp datatypes installed
(if not get them!) ?

You should subscribe to the PPC mailing list, or the BVPPC seems to have
good help on it too! I've sometimes had AMPlifier just stop whilst playing,
I think it may be when the PPC overheats and duffs up. Try sticking a
washer (or thin metal) between chip on PPC board and cooling plate (as shown
in a past AA mag).
