AB and Nemesis

Okay, the Nemesis and AB040 are now installed. I'm having the
following minor problems:

1. NEM_HI causes considerable screen streaking. Since I can't use
that with the AB anyway, I guess I don't have to worry about that.

2. With the AB installed, the Falcon does 2 boots -- once through
XBOOT, then a reset and then a complete boot, bypassing XBOOT this
time. One of the AUTO programs causes a 2 or 4 bomb boot, but the
process continues anyway. I've yet to figure out which because it
appears to be whatver runs immediately after the reboot.

3. Floppy access causes 2 bombs or a reset. This is obviously a
problem. We stuck to the 150 pf capacitor rather than the inductor/
resistor mod and I suspect that's the problem. Is it really okay
to
steal two inductors from the motherboard? What is the best way
to do this. Or is the floppy problem unrelated?

4. GEMBENCH shows the FPU at only 48% of a Falcon. I was expecting
much higher. The CPU is at 309%. Ditto there. I haven't added
NEM_LO to the mix yet, so maybe that will speed things up. Overall,
the system actually slower than my old PowerUP2 even though the numbers
say otherwise. I'm sure that's just my perception after working 4
hours on the installation.

Any help would be appreciated!
