I was attempting to use SetCPU V1.4 today with the FASTROM option. It seems to
be a sure way to get "Software error - task held" requesters. This appears to
be common with either the AT or XT bridgeboards installed. Luckily I had SRT
lying around (thanks Carolyn!) that displayed the exception code and the task
name (and allowed me to suspend the process so I could find all the tasks that
got really upset).
The tasks going down (with exception=2) are
ZaphodServiceTask
AmouseProcess
PCdisk
Any ideas as to what's happening?

Thanks for the fast response, Dave.
