Thanks Marcel, your program does the business as far as memory goes. However 
BlackKnight? has another trick up its sleeve. It failes differently once the 
memory is reduced. Jonathon Hudsons Trapper extension seems to indicate it is 
attempting to execute an illegal instruction on the 68060. I am reasonably 
certain that I did run it through the C68 patch for the Qx0 but am now off to 
check that I actually did so. On QPC2 BlackKnight with the memory reduction all 
works.

Regards

Duncan

Try this (beware, will reset the machine with 4MB of RAM):

100 a=RESPR(100)
110 POKE_W a,$287C
120 POKE_L a+2,$400000
130 POKE_L a+6,$70254E41
140 POKE_L a+10,$4EF80900
150 CALL a
