The NewerTech ZIF settings could be the problem...? Did you get any documentation with the ZIF that indicates dip switch settings for different bus ratios? I used a NewerTech with a XLR8 Carrier before, and the fact that the ZIF's dips set bus ratio (or multiplier, if that makes more sense to you) complicated the process of finding the right combo of settings for my machine. Maybe the dips are set to too high a bus ratio, and the processor is trying to run at a speed beyond its rating...? What are the MHz ratings of the ZIFs again? -- Gene, a.k.a.
