- I think it should be move.l (a0.d0),d0

- This is probably because the copperlist or other graphics data are
- located in fast ram (if you have more ram than 512k).
- To fix that you could try to type
-
- run nofastmem
-
- before you start yopur program. This is not the final solution
- you should edit your program an make sure that copperlists and
- graphics data are stored in chip memory. This can be fixed by
- use of the ATOM utility or in assemblers like devpack with
- the SECTION command, or just allocating chip-memory from the system
- and move you data to the buffer.
