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.
