yes i tested alls, ACSI test software on 8Mhz OK on boosted KO. I tried old SIMM RAM 2x256KB with 8xdil chip - still the same. Blitter chip on off no effect. Only PSU no tested, only with voltmetr 5.06V.

The only other issue I know is a fault I found on the STFM a few days ago. Where A1 had some issue when running with the booster. So you could try a 390pF capacitor on A1 on the DMA chip to see if that helps. If that fails, then I'm afraid you will have to find a different motherboard. The ones with external blitters seems to have less issues than the integrated boards.

I do not think there is anything else to actually try.. I suggested all the faults I know of. But as said before, the booster itself does not really have anything to do with the DMA circuit. But these DMA related problems are very difficult to track down.

A1? Pin 1 on DMA chip?

A1 is pin 2 on the DMA. Connect 390pF capacitor (220pF should be OK also) from pin 2 on the DMA to 0V.
