Well, the best avenue is to RUN, not walk to your vendors and ask them
about 2.0 compatibility. A number of products broke the rules about
overscan and were warned about what 2.0 had changed (almost 2 years of
warning in this case). Most of these companies have already made new
versions available. In general the problem is that they were poking
private portions of Intuition which were changed quite radically and there
really is no simple way to support them (or fix them) from the outside. I
am sorry that there really isn't a better answer. It is akin to the
problem of programs that broke in the presense of chip ram or ECS.
