I'm sure you will find folks with a similar problem. It is caused by folks
not following the "rules" when they are programming. By breaking the
rules, I mean doing things like bypassing the operating system or talking
to a specific hardware address or things on that order. Many, many, many
of the programs on the market have done this, and it is difficult – nay,
impossable for Commodore to significantly upgrade the machine and still
keep all the "lawless" programs fully functional. They had to make a
choice — Either accept some incompatability, or don't improve the machine.
I'm glad they did what they did, and even though a goodly portion of my
software may not run right, I fully intend to purchase an A3000. Software
written to take advantage of it's improved abilities will be along soon.
