That problem bit me a long time ago, and I've been running without mfs
for quite a while (with so little RAM, even limiting mfs seemed like a
poor use of resources, so I took it out, and performance is still
good.)

However, the above problem was solved (just last night @ 2:00am :-) )
GVP '030 had some SIMM wierdness.  Swapped 1-4 positions with 5-8
positions and everything works like a charm.  Could have been a badly
seated one, or could be some GVP PAL logic wierdness, who knows.

I'll post a little something over on the `amiga' list too.
