has a few extra screen modes.

doesn't seem to be compatible with the half meg agnus, havn't been able to try the 1meg or 2meg agnus yet to see if this resolves the issues i've got plugging it into a rev5 A500 board. even with a 3.1 rom.

Super Denise requires the 1MB Agnus or better.

Thanks for the info. How can I tell if I have a Super Denise installed?

Looking square at Denise herself, do you spy the numbers 8373? OCS numbers are 8362. The program Sysinfo (aminet) will also tell you what version you have.

Sysinfo says I have a ECS Denise in my A2000. After all the trouble I had getting a 2 meg Agnus to work in my A2000, I didn't feel like taking the case off right now to actually look at my Denise chip :-)

Well, there you go. I guess the next bier is on you then!  lol

Denise *IS* kind of a pain to get at. She better be 'super' by the time you reach her!
