- No, this is *not* necessary and wouldn't help in any case.

- Hmm, don't know about SysInfo, heard mixed stories about it. But a
- bridgeboard definitely uses some memory (512 K). So, if this memory
- isn't there, I assume a hardware problem.

- Perhaps they conflict with one another? Have you already tried it with
- this card removed?
-
- >A problem with the bridge connectors???

- There is certain probability. Standard procedure:
- 1. Take bridgeboard out.
- 2. Press every chip that sits in a socket firmly back into this. If you
- see some chip that sits not exactly aligned in its socket, pull it
- out and insert it again properly.
- 3. Insert bridgeboard properly into the Amiga.
- 4. If this did not help: Don't give in too early!!! Try procedure step
- 1 to 3 at *least* 5 times before trying other cures...
