Could the problem be that it is called 'Start.GS.OS'? I use essentially the same setup with the gs/os boot file called Boot16, and it works fine. - John -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stupid@Idiots.Anonymous.Com | There's an explanation for everything.

If it works fine for you, you're "lucky" in some way (maybe it happens to work with your harware--but we don't promise the next version will). -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.

It's really weird. Running it directly from Prosel brings about the same problem. --Mark Munz
