I recently acquired a DS-69B video digitizer.  The DECB software that I have to
operate it seems to work fine.  I'm still on the lookout for some OS-9 drivers
so that I don't have to drop back to DECB, when I want to use the digitizer. 
However, I may have discovered somethang that may cause a problem depending on
whether the system that I ultimately put this thing on has a B&B hard drive
system with the AutoBoot XT-ROM.
  The other night after using the digitizer, I wanted t  switch back over to
run Lvl 2.
  I powered off my system.
  I moved the MPI slot switch to 3 (where the B&B Autoboot ROM is)
  I powered on my system.
  The hard drive came ready.
  The Autoboot ROM dib it's memory check,
    then when it tried to start the OS9 BOOT,
      the hard drive was accessed as if the BOOT was being looked for, but
      the OS9 BOOT message never appeared on the screen, and then
      floppy drive 0 started spinning, the Autoboot seemed be defaulting to
        the floppy boot procedure.
  Since I don't boot from floppy there was not boot disk in drive 0, the DECB
  message eventually popped onto the screen!
