Hello =)
i have an error that appears regularly when I open/surf through directories in ApolloOS. Sometimes it appears quick, sometimes later.

I made pictures of the error message that pops up then:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AliUF7yRvwObjJc7PGbAirubngsZVQ?e=npOCNh
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AliUF7yRvwObjJc68k0dcbapYY4wzQ?e=K7lRUr

When this error appears i can still use mouse.
But I can no longer open directories or start anything.

My setup is: A2000 rev6.2, FirebirdV4, ApolloOS R8.3, Apollo mouse and Apollo gamepad.
No other expansion cards in this Amiga, CPU is removed.

Maybe someone of you knows what's going on here.

Looks like a normal system crash.
 
Make sure to get the latest Core.

Please Make sure that your Connection is good!

How did you plug it?  CPU Socket or Slot?
 
Did you connect the extra option for the Powercable?

What drive do you use?
 
What IDE mode do you use?

Where can i see my actual core version?
 
I use cpu slot with this adapter from Araranet:
EXTERNAL LINK 

No i have not connected an extra power cable. I didn't even know that this is possible
 
I use the standard CF-adapter that gets delivered with the Firebird V4 on the 44pin ide slot of the V4.

Oh my: The wires on this adapter look extremely thin.
I think they can cause problems. Why making so thin wires?

OK. What CF do you use?

Is there an adapter you can recommend?

The original cf card (ApolloOS R8.3) that i got the V4 delivered with. I did not install anything on this CF card, it is still in mint condition.

Will you be this week on A37 Amiga meeting?
I can show you the SALAMANDER there.

Sorry, that's a four and a half hour drive, unfortunately I can't combine that with my job because i have to work at weekend :/ 
Can I already buy the salamander somewhere else?

Sounds good =)
Is SALAMANDER an adapter produced by Apollo Team?
Can I buy it when we meet?^^

Is this an option to supply power via cable to the firebird?

I think Salamander will not help me because i placed the Firebird now into CPU Socket.
But problem remains with same error message.
When i start amiga and do nothing error not appears.
But when i open a folder it comes quick.
Starting any game or demo is not possible. They freeze after few seconds :/
