I now have reliable code to detect for AGA, which is not yet in
VistaPro 3.05. However, I run with V39 mode turned on in debugging on
my machine all of the time, and the only time I get into trouble is
when I actually attempt to do an AGA function. The normal startup
code knows nothing about V39 and should be able to open up just fine
on any machine running V39 as long as the user doesn't try to open an
AGA screen. VistaPro won't try to unless requested by the user. (In
fact the code that opens the control panel should still run under
version 1.1 of AmigaDOS.) The only V39 checks that exist are in the
AGA specific code. That's why I suspect that the problem lies with
GVP's EGS WorkBench and not V39. I have several beta testers who also
run V39 on their 3000's and don't have any difficulties. VP will
crash if you select HAM8 or 256-c on a non-AGA machine, but that
doesn't seem to be your problem.
