I think that is cause to criticize Disney for their programming practicies, rather than the A3000 (or AmigaDOS 2.0). The list of programs that are already ADOS2.0-compatible (without modification) is already quite large. In any case, expect an update from Disney.

No, it's not DP:TAS's fault. The feature that broke it was added late in the 2.0 beta test cycle, and clearly the code in DP:TAS was totally clean given the amount of information available at the time of its development. Almost no one anticipated that the 2.0 release would have copper list clipping. Commodore has acknowledged the problem as a feature which unfortunately breaks alot of existing code, and I'd expect the final 2.0 release to not invoke this feature by default, which should make DP:TAS run like a charm. -Mike

Chris, No, do not expect an update from Disney. Expect a fix from CBM. -sja

Well I was told by the president of our Amiga users group that it is a bug in the 2.0 operating system and NOT in the TAS software. He is a registered developer for CBM, but I dont know how true that is. Vicky

GVicki, CBM made a last-minute addition of a new feature to the Copper functions, and it has caused considerable trouble with most of the animation programs. It will be fixed – and this problem was NOT Leo's fault. CBM knows it and is working on it. Betty
