Nevin, Apparently it is. I've got an A3000 2.04KS disk here (don't have the 3000, but CBM sent it to me along with the disks for the A2000). Looking at it with a sector editor (since it's a KickStart disk, not a DOS disk) the first KS on it is version 34.2 (28 October 1987). Same as shows up on my A1000 1.3KS disk. Don

Yep, you're right. I tried it and it works just fine. BTW, do you know if there is maintenance update for WordPerfect that makes it compatible with 2.0? I'm experiencing streaking text with my current version.

Nevin, No idea on WordPerfect…you'll have to contact them about that. Don

Yes Nevin, there is a 2.0 update to WordPerfect. It cost $12-15, and works great! So far, I've had no problem. You get a new WP disk, and two new print disks (one has additional drivers). Worth the $$ if you have 2.0 and use WP. – db —–> via Whap!

I second that Derek. It's the january 1991 update and works fine with 2.0 (also adds Amiga style file requestor, some other requestor updates, the really BAD print 'Preview' feature, more)…. well worth the minor cost. I agree, but Nevin might also want to contact WP about the WP5.0 supposed to be available RSN…. –jp–seattle–

Actually, I heard in Ami Report On-line Magazine, that they (wp) were going to announce 5.? at an upcoming show. – db —–> via Whap!

Thanks Derek! I'll give them a call tomorrow and order the upgrade. Nevin
