I tracked it to the daughtercard last night too. Odd though-- I replaced
the ROMs and had the same problem. The *extra* weird part is that the same
daughtercard works JUST FINE in another CPU board. A different
daughtercard in the "problem" boards works just dandy. Gotta be the 22V10
or some bizarre-o combination of manufacturers that is pissing it off.
(AMD EPROMs on CPU board + NS EPROMs on daughtercard + AMD PAL22V10... or
something) I hate upgrades. ;-)

Glitchy Vector Generator board?
