I had an A500 doing this once. It turned out to be a bad CIA (8520?). Try swapping the two CIA's and see if the problem goes away/changes. When it happened to me, I asked the 'NET, and someone said that the workbench uses some "beam sync'ed blits" which use a timer in one of the CIA's. Sorta made sense. Give it a try. >Robert -hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hans-Gabriel Ridder Digital Equipment Corporation ridder@elvira.enet.dec.com Customer Support Center ...decwrl!elvira.enet!ridder Colorado Springs, CO
