Thanks to all the kind souls who responded to my plea! Felix Lugo, Neal Fowler, Michael B. Johnson, and Martin Bokaemper. The problem was that I had not enable parity checking. Though NeXTAnswers says it is not required (and even points out that you take a performance hit by enabling it), Martin had experiences where parity being enabled worked on some '040 machines, but not on others. A "bug" in the early (ENIAC sp?) meaning of the word! ;-) Thanks again! Mark Wuest mark.wuest@att.com

I've heard about the performance hit before as well but I haven't heard how much of a hit? What are your impressions? Paul Verket (NeXTmail ok)

What are your impressions? Well, 16 mb is always going to *look* faster than 8 mb on a Unix station ;-) (our stockroom ran out of 4 mb simms). ;-( *But*, when running the Concurrence demo, moving objects *is* more labored- looking than before, so I concur ;-) with NeXT's claim.
