If I remember it correctly, there was a problem with a RasterOps ROM.=20
Before you could upgrade from system 6 to system 7, you had to upgrade=20
your videocard-rom. Probably because it wasn't 32bit-clean.=20

Perhaps this is the same problem.

But i'm for certain, whether it was a Radius- or a RasterOps-board.
