Hey It I have an early A2000 with a GVP 68030, math chip, 4 megs of wide ram, an AT hard disk running autoboot 1.3WB off the GVP, a flicker fixer driving a Zenith monitor, a sys config with wide and tall interlace display, and Zing!, Qmouse, FF Siesta.font and some a bridge card servers running in the background. I can't say the machine is perfectly well behaved. It pulls some weird stunts on me every now and then, but for the most part it gets the job done, and it's pretty busy. I do a lot of work at home on the machine. I got a break a couple of days ago and finally decided to get the CanDo box out and teach myself something new. The program disk I have was loaded on 11-Dec-89. I guess I qualify for the procrastinator's club on this one. Cept, here's the problem. It won't run on my machine. When I tried to use the CanDo installer, it blew up, so I copied both disks to my HD, copied the 3 c's, the libs and l routines manually, and I got the CanDo program to start, but it chokes up when I try to run the first few steps in your first tutorial. One other thing, I couldn't get your doc reader to run either, so I changed the default tool to "more" to read the posters. I tried turning off the interlace and FF siesta font, but that didn't help. Coobe mebbe I need an upgrade, or sumthin, huh? GN

Hey It Thanks for the prompt response. FYI .. I screwed around until I found the solution myself. Seems CannedDooDoo didn't like the cache and burst options in GVP's setcpu routine for the 3001. I changed the startup seq to a plain vanilla setcpu and now everything runs fine. GN
