First off, sorry for posting this as a reply but I can't seem to post messages that aren't replies to something! I have run into an odd bug. I have a 68010 Amiga 500 with a populated A590, 1.3 ROMs, an external drive, and the Super Agnus. I have had very few problmes and almst no unexplained GURUs, at least none I could repeat, until today. The problem is odd in that it only occurs under some rather specific conditions. I have to be running JRComm (v.94), Tetrix (the PD Tetris), while in PAL mode (using PALboot). Running either separately, or in NTSC, is fine, BUT Tetrix hangs the machine after the first piece has fallen about halfway down. Since I got my 68010 before PALboot, I haven't tried this without the 68010, however running SuperDeciGel (which I normally don't bother to do) does not help. Sometimes I can geta GURU, but even it is strange. It's one of those interrupt GURUs that appears in the top of the screen rather than after a boot. What's odd is that I can click the right mouse button and it will go away for a bit, then come back with a DIFFERENT GURU NUMBER. I've gotten 000...4, -3, and -B, always at the same address. Other programs I run: Xoper 2.2, Setpatch -R, GOMF 1.0, SRT, MachII v2.5, Snap V1.4, Noclick, and FF. I can't give up Tetrix during downloads! But I don't want to give up PAL eihter Help! . <<<<Infinite K>>>>
