Well, changing the flags didn't seem to make a difference but it led
me to something else.

As long as Petra runs *before* the ALTMON program, it seems to work
okay.

So I made sure that Petra is run in front of ALTMON.PRG in the AUTO
folder and that seems to have taken care of it. I'm running Paula as
an ACC and it's working fine. Very low usage on the Pak 68/3 as well.

That's actually the big reason why I was hoping to get Paula to work,
being able to use it as an ACC. I've got Hextracker, which the author
was kind enough to get working on the Pak board as well, and it is
totally awesome - it's just not an ACC.

(Paula actually seems to sound better with the db boost off)

Thanks all. :)

This suggests Petra's doing something a bit naughty. I wonder what?

Perhaps double check you set both the run from ST-RAM and allocate from ST-RAM flags?

I'll double check here in a bit, but I believe I have them both (Petra and Paula)
set to ST RAM only now(fastload still turned on though).

Thanks.

Okay, it was like I thought - both programs are set to "Fastload" only - everything
else is checked off.

Thanks.
