IF you have a PC Bridgeboard, that would also require some 4mb free Zorro II memory space.

I think that you have 4mb + 4mb + 4mb + 2mb, wich is way too much 100% sure would cause troubles.

Anyone near by and could test it to you? Generally, this kind of hardware doesn't get binned, they get repaired.

If you have tested screen mode, you can just click save and reboot Amiga. If you haven't tested screen, you might end up to have screen wich is not displayable with your monitor.

If so, you need to boot early startup menu, choose boot without startup-sequence and then go to system:prefs/env/sys drawer and delete screenmode.prefs
