Kevin,
  Well, I jumped from partial success with DM3 right over to MV,  rechecked
everything and got the same results- lockup or OS9 boot failed after the
Microware logo.  Then I remembered your suggestion as to why DM3 was locking up
(btw. that's R22).  I removed the jumper and replaced it with a 150ohm resistor
(in parallel with r22 gives about 66ohms).  voila.  MV is running! but with one
problem... I found out what changing MEM=  to 1024:  you can  key to the
first OS9 shell you make but you can't go anywhere else; yer stuck.
  So back to MEM=512 and all seems to be well.  I'll bet DM3 doesn't lock up
any more either when I can get back to it.
  Btw. had to add RS's 12dc fan to keep the new chips from freaking out from
overheating. Located it against the rf modulator with some foam tape and
modelers' support struts.  Seems to be doing the job altho it hasn't had a
really good work out yet.
  Thanks to all on the forum for enough support to keep me going.   Looks like
the main problem was not putting both new patches into the software
straightaway instead of experimenting around.  Well, I did learn from it and
that's what it's all about.   -ph-
