Mike, Disregard my previous message about Imagine 2.9 not working under 2.0 with the GVP Spectrum 28/24 card. As I should have guessed, it was a shortage of memory. I added another 8 megabytes to my 5 megabyte machine and, lo and behold, all works as expected again. Sorry to have bothered you needlessly. Darron

Are you able to run the detail editor in higher resolutions with your EGS Spectrum card, Darron? I'm curious as to how well it works with Imagine.

Steve, The Spectrum card passes through all "native" Amiga screens untouched s so that Imagine still runs in 640×400 mode. I'm using a Flicker-Fixer for the Amiga video output, so I can use a monitor that only syncs down to 31 kHz. Unless there's been a software update that I'm not aware of, the Spectrum does not "promote" programs that do not either use the Workbench screen or use AmigaDOS 2.0+ database of available screen modes. I think I I read that some other boards (can't remember whether it's Picasso or Pi Piccollo) will promote screen mode for Imagine to 640×480. I'm still learning my way around the Spectrum and will let you know any "tricks" I pick up using Imagine on it. Darron
