Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Trap 0008

Hi Jordan,

Here are my thoughts.

At the moment everything is working fine (of course this could change at
any moment!). I solved my last problem by reformating my eCS partition and
doing a complete restore from a backup. Since then everything has been
normal -- except for the DOS and WINOS2 window problem (I have sent a
trouble ticket to ecomstation.)

I am not sure what caused the initial corruption. Maybe it was the playing
around with the bad SCSI boards. Maybe something else.

Another problem may be that his particular motherboard has two 16 bit PCI
video slots. It was made for gamers (and I really did not know what I was
doing when I bought it). Whether that was one source of problems, I don't
know.

The NForce 4 chipset is well supported by Genmac now, and the Radeon X800
Xtacy video board supports my digital monitor under SNAP. I am going to
take a chance and keep on using it for now. If it remains stable, I will
let you know.

Sandy
