We were one of those people having trouble with the CMI on the A1000 but we grounded the PALS and then tried terminating the bus. That did the trick now we are able to use the Starboard, Stardrive and CMI simultaneously. ONE VERY IMPORTANT SIDE EFFECT OF THIS BUS TERMINATION was that it also seems to have eliminated many of the unexplainable gurus we experienced even without the CMI processor. I suspect we just got rid of a lot of bus noise that was crashing the system. So the CMI does work, the problems people are experiencing are a result of too much bus noise that may also be producing other problems with their system. I guess thats why CBM never considered the A1000 an expandable system.
