I agree with Supra although if that doesn't cure the problem you may wish to
add faster PAL chips to the Amiga.  I had a similar problem when I connected
my StarBoard II and CLtd. Controller together.  I ended up grounding AND
replacing the PAL chips.  I got my replacement PALS from CLtd for around
$20.00.  Well I thought I would let you know of my experiences.  Hope it
helps.
