#3000… Safe or Out?
I just received a very interesting call from a guy tonight. I've got my
2000 up for sale as I'm "powering up" to a 3000. This guy laid on me a
bunch of horror stories about 3000 incompatibility. He suggests the 2500
is a better and more useful computer.
I know software compatibility was an issue for a while, but my impression
is it's gotten better. I realize most games will haveproblems with 2.0.
Can anyone tell which of the following programs are compatible with 2.0,
either in their present form or via an upgrade (e.g., DPaint 3)? Your
comments will be appreciated.
WordPerfect Analyze Ncomm (PD terminal program)
CrossDOS Quarterback Quarterback Tools
Raw Copy M-1 Tank Platoon Lemmings
Indianapolis 500 PGA Tour Golf Warlords
I'm also curious about running 1.3 on a 3000. Is this process as simple as
formatting the hard drive and installing AmigaDOS 1.3? Is the 2.0 ROM
backwards compatible with 1.3? I've heard about SetCPU and its ability to
allow accelerated Amigas to load older versions of Kickstart. Is this
capability available on the 3000 as well?
