That looks the one, yep.

PAGE is at &1200, after disabling DFS and rebooting, and as far as I
know, the software doesn't mess about below that.
I've tried replicating the setup on BeebEm, but it works fine there.
But I've had three different Model Bs (two standard and the German
one) all doing the same, so there must be something weird going on.
The only B I have working has an 8K NFS3.60 chip rather than the
DNFS... what I think I should do is perhaps swap that into the other
machines, and put a DNFS in there and see what happens..
Thanks for the ideas though..
