A2000/WB2.1 Compatible?
3 messages in this thread
My father has just updated his ancient A2000 machine to WB2.1. Everything
appears to work fine at first but quite often when attempting to open a drawer
or run a program everything goes dead. The mouse pointer becomes frozen and the
only way out appears to be to re-boot. Changing directories and running
programs from the shell appears to be perfectly OK and has never hung up even
when running the same programs that hang when tried from workbench. The fault
is not totally repeatable as occasionally things work for one or two clicks!.
Does anyone know if this is a known problem or has the new workbench uncovered
a hardware problem that didn't occur with the old version. (2.0)
The problem is present when booted from hard drive and from floppy.
System has Kickstart 37.175 , WB 38.36, 3MB Ram, Trumpcard Hard drive.
Any ideas would be welcome. (Apart from get a more modern machine!)

My 200 had been running fine on 2.1 before U/G to 3.1. Nearly same config as
your dads but w/ 6megs of memory and 2386SX Bridgeboard. I would suggest a
reinstallation of OS from scratch.
thanks for the comments Ed… I am beginning to suspect something may have gone
wrong with the installation or maybe there is a hardware fault. He has a 500 as
well so he can use that while I try to fix the 2000.
Thanks ….. Colin
