[ continuation ] Location Zero problem with the 2091. I called Impulse and reported the problem, they told me that CBM made a mistake (they didn't know where) in designing the A2500 and that they software worked fine, so CBM would have to change their hardware! However, if I wanted to upgrade to SV that the problem would go away. They also spent about 10 minutes bad mouthing Byte by Byte. Well I can't upgrade all my copies on the selves since they didn't sell SV to Distributors (or dealers for that matter) but I went ahead and upgraded my personal copy. Guess what it still dosn't work! By this time people had discoved what the problem was, the A2091 changed the value of memory location zero, and programers who improperly used uninitiated pointers in their code, would not work. When I called Impulse again (they were rude as usuall) they said that they have no plans to fix SV and that I should wait for Imagine. So I had to send the 12 copies I had bought for stock, back to the distributor and my own copy sits unused. Now that Imagine is supposedly out, I hear that customers where charged for their copies over a month before shipping. Its too bad that Imagine is probably a good product since its not worth the headache dealing with the Impulse. If I ever wanted to order Impulse product again, I would have to make a personal request to our Cooperate office, which I would only due if they could prove that they have changed their ways and send me Imagine to upgrade my own version as well as to use as a demo. Which I am quite sure will never happen. What irritates me the most is that I am still on their mailing list and they keep sending me letters saying what a great company they are and how dedicated to customer support they are. I'm glad to get all this off my chest, as Impulse really made me and the Amiga look bad infront of my superiors… Just my personaly opinions, -Jason-Jason71341,533
