Hi,

I just installed a Rasterops 264 in a Mac IIci and in a regular Mac II.
Both exhibit the same problem.  If I push the NMI (Debugger) button, or
if the system crashes into the debugger, the screen goes grey.  It doesn't
seem to put up the Macsbug screen.   I am using Macsbug 6.1...The Rasterops
boards show prom REV 1.1  (If that helps!)!

I also noticed a small glitch in their Monitor CDEV interface.  If you
select colors (16/256/millions) wityh the other button in B&W mode, the
system crashes.  You must set 'Color' before selecting more that 2 colors.
The Apple board gives shades of grey for more than 2 colors in B&W mode.

Any suggestions?
