Jerry,
I have a Xetec CD-ROM and had been running the Time Table of Science on it
just fine under the Amiga 1.3 operating system for nearly a year. It's a
really nice example of multimedia.
However, I updated to the 2.04 operating system a couple of weeks ago and
now the disc won't run. It gives an error message unable to load screen. I
tried the disc in a CDTV and it loads just fine, so I guess the problem
isn't from a scratch on the disc. I never got around to sending in the
registration for the TTOS disc, but I still have the form and the original
disc if there is an upgrade that will run under 2.04.
BTW, some CDROMS that were REAL flakey under 1.3 now work flawlessly under
2.04, such as the Illustrated Bible and Illustrated Sheakspeare from
another company :>) (I had planned on tossing those two until getting 2.04,
I still may, they were disappointing compared to other CDTV titles).
So far, the TTOS is the only CDTV title I've tried that doesn't run under
2.04 on the Xetec. I'd like to get the Time Table of Business, Politics
etc. and also the Groliers Encyclopedia if they are available seperately
without buying a CDTV unit and will run under 2.04. I really don't want to
go the option of a rom switcher board if I can avoid it. I guess I could
use a floppy to boot 1.3, but I don't have the 1.3 rom anymore.
Thanks,
Roger
