Hi Steve.

Red is usually indicitive of a bad rom.

Chances are your rom is not broken but something is going on to make your Amiga think its roms are misbeahving.

Could be your Ram speed.

Remove the MAP ROM jumper so ROM is not in fast.

See if this removes the problem.

Are you using blizkick or extramodules or a 3.1 rom image.  Do you have 3.1 roms or 3.0 ?

As your amiga is dual boot does the problem occur both under 3.1 & 3.9 ?

When I first overclocked my 060 to 66mhz it crashed frequently due to ram at to slow a speed.

My 4000 was misbeaving turned out one of my 4meg simms was at fault, even though it registered ok.

Saying that my Bizzard 060/66 Amiga1200T recently began to crash loads especially when using ibrowse / samba or as you say internsive programs.

Turned out to be the motherboard. Most 1200s are 10 years old now and capacitors / transistors can degrade affecting crucial timings.

I changed the mobo and its been rock stable since.
