No monochrome or 4-plane adapters in my Apollo box, only big cards. I had 
a dual-card Matrox, whugh runs happily in the DN3500 (1280x1024-8 planes)

Hmmm, and if I upgrade the boot rom ? I'll try...

The ATR was added by me. I have only the new single-board adapters, those 
with the big white chips. I noticed that, with respect to the DN3500, the 
lights lit in a different way (they were reversed).

Yes, it's a very old DN3000, the Mnemonic Debugger, as I stated, is 0.2 !
