Hello,
I've been slowly upgrading my A500 Amiga's and just received my ACA500plus yesterday.
Installed Workbench 3.1, "acaflashrom"ed my KS 3.1.4 ROM into slot 1, rebooted and installed WB 3.1.4 on top, worked flawlessly
Thought I was in the clear, but...
When I set the CPU clock rate to 14MHz or higher and when the machine is given a task, like playing mod files,
the following video shows the 'idle' mouse pointer activity I see
If I switch the clock frequency back down to 7MHz or remove the ACA500plus, the mouse pointer has 'normal idle' activity..it just sits there, not moving on it's own...
I see this with either my A500 tank mouse, or my USB bluetooth mouse; plugged into port 1.
Machine details:
The machine is an A500 rev5, one of the early ones with the factory transistor bodge to compensate for a defective Toshiba Gary.

I've replaced the early Gary with a later revision Gary
I've replaced the 8371 Agnus with an 8372 Agnus (bought here)
I've re-capped the A500 with Würth Elektronik Aluminum Polymer caps
I've cut JP2, to get the second 512KB of ChipRAM from Ranger
I've installed a 2MB trapdoor Chip\SlowRAM board + RTCC and Gary adapter from (shop link removed)
I've swapped the 68000 for a Motorola 68010
I burned my own KS 3.1.4 EPROM and placed it in an A500 rev5 socket adapter which swizzles some pins and provides some needed pull-ups.
I'm using SwissBit 512MB and 4GB SLC with the C-500 controller chip, Industrial temp rated, controlled BOM, Compact Flash cards in the ACA500plus.
I rebuilt my A500 PSU which was dying, using a Mean Well RT-50B, 5V@4A, 12V@2A, -12V@1A module and adjusted 5V trim based on measurement taken at the A500 input filter.
3D printed an ABS UL94 V-0 cooling baffle to support an 80mm fan within the PSU housing, to further stabilize the PSU.
Hopefully this mouse pointer issue has been seen before and has a known fix,
or at the very least I've provided enough detail to prompt some ideas for next steps.
Handy too...we have a full electronics lab here.. just shy of a spectrum analyzer really.
Oh... and a complete set of A500 known good chips in ESD foam.
So, we can do a little measuring or swap some kit if the mood takes you..
I should warn, I've only just get back into Amiga, so if you need something software'ish done, I'll need some hand holding.
Electrical engineering, and technician work, no problem, still hand-soldering TQFP for fun
