After further experience, I realized that all that happened is that
the Kronos controler does not like to live elsewhere than in the
first expansion slot. When I put it in the 2nd one (w or w/o the SUPRA
RAM board), screen blanks very soon and keyboard does not seem to work
any more (except for C-A-A), but MED still plays music and DF0: still
clicks, and when put in the third one, things get even worse (the
described phenomenon in my previous posting). So I moved the Kronos
back to the first slot, the SUPRA RAM board to the second slot, and
left the bridgboard in the 4th one.

But then again I get those weird colored squares on the the PC screen
when I try to run AMouse. That doesn't seem to be the case when the
Kronos is in the second slot, but then I can't really tell because the
computer freezes soon.

I would really like to put RAM in slots before the controler, because
the controler would then use expansion and not (dear) chip mem.

Any hints appreciated,
	Joerg.
