Santa must have come early...

I installed the Super Agnus chip and re-installed my A2300. I gave QB
a go and it backed up my entire drive, when previously i never got by the 
first floppy. I pulled the motherboard to push the original Agnus out and
gave everything a pretty good shake. I'm at a loss as to why it works
now, but happy that it does.
