I don't keep score. Don't know (or care) if I am first in Denver. But I do have the 2.04 ROMS installed. Bought them Friday afternoon, the 1st of November, and installed today. Interesting effort, leaving lots of things in place and moving the 2.04 OS into place. Went pretty well, and for myself I commend CBM on the installation procedure(s). I am looking for things to delete and clean out… things like on old undelete program that is useless now (whether or not it works under 2.04!) Finally got rid of TextCraft. I suspect strongly that it will not work under 2.0 and I'm really using Prowrite anyway. Thanks Commodore! I've waited a year and a half for 2.0. BTW – Where's the manual divider for the AREXX section? To any of you that know which end of a screw driver is which, the ROM installation is really quite simple. If you're faint of heart have your dealer install the ROM. If your Amiga is still under warranty, have your dealer install the ROM. Otherwise, save yourself a few bucks and do it yourself. The ROM is a simple DIP, and quite a bit easier to install than the AGNUS chip. It took me about an hour and a half (I read the "Getting Started" booklet twice) to get to the point of booting a "functioning" 2.0 Workbench. It ain't completely done, but it is getting there. I was concerned that 2.0 might be visibly slower than 1.3 on my A2000HD. As far as I can tell it is not slower, and possibly a bit faster. Gawd, there are quite a few new options in screen and window management. – Nelson … – via Whap!
