I don't know about anybody else, but Xoper 2.0 works fine! Yes, the -b option
for the startup-sequence DOES work! It has never failed or GURUed on me. My
configuration: A2000 (4.3 motherboard), 512K chip, GVP 80-meg hard card, 3 meg
RAM (no RAD or VD0). SOftware: GOMF 3.0, ARP 1.3 (WB 1.3.2), KS 1.3, NoClick
3.6, NewLook, Blitzdisk2, Dmouse 1.20.

Oh yes, I run an interlace workbench (use FlickerFixer with NEC Multisync II
monitor)...maybe that's what Xoper needs??

My Xoper.startup:
