LIVE! Board Doesn't Work On 3000

I have been attempting to get A-Squared's LIVE! 2000 board to work on my
3000 to no avail. I tried the board in two different slots (not the video
slot, it doesn't go there) and got no results. When I attempt to access
the board through Invision under 2.0 the system crashes and reboots. Under
1.3 I get a system error request "LIVE! BOARD NOT INSTALLED". I took the
board out and put it in a 2000 and it works fine. The Invision software
does appear to be running normally on the 3000.

I contacted A-Squared and they said they hadn't tried it but they said
Commodore has assured all developers that any board that works in a 2000
WILL work in the 3000. Then they told me to contact Commodore if I am having
a problem. I tried to contact the Commodore Technical Divsion all day Thursday
and Friday, all I got was either repeated busy signals or the phone would ring
for 5 minutes and nobody would pick it up. However I have contacted Commodore
about problems with a genlock and some software problems on the 3000 and
everytime I call all they tell me is that they can't be responsible for 3rd
party hardware or software and that I have to contact that company directly.
So I expect if I ever do get through to Commodore that is the story I will
hear once again.

Does anyone have any suggestions about the LIVE! board. Or do you think I
am just on a holding pattern until someone or other does something about it?
