Kickstart V1.2 does *not* checksum the ROM. The A1000 boot ROMs will not display red on a bad checksum, they just put up the "Instart Kickstart" screen. You can load a corrupt Kickstart disk in with no complaint or indicator. On C-A-A it will post the "Instart Kickstart" screen again. > BADROM green Unless I am missing something, that should be BADRAM |\ /| . Ack!

Could some CATS person or whomever explain a little more about what the yellow diagnostic color means. I take it that a 68K exception is being generated. Would this be indicitive of expansion or some other hardware generating wild interruputs before apporpriate handlers have been set up? Thanks in advance for any info on the subject.

I *think* it indicates that you've just taken a trip through any of the "exception" vectors. Interrupts have probably not been enabled yet. I'm afraid all you can really tell is that your machine is broken, no further information can be extracted without something like a logic analyzer or 68000 "emulator". -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|ihnp4|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
