Amax would work fine on my The problem may or may not be with AMax. I'm not even considering the fact that 2.0 is in beta. It has to do with the fact that these are also beta 3000s and that they load kickstart into ram, even when booted with 1.3 as that is not a normal 1.3, but a modified 1.3 in order to work with the 3000. I know that when I use setcpu to copy kickstart into RAM, AMax will not work. I would assume that the same problem is happening on the 3000. Wait until 2.0 is put on roms and then try it again. > *** mike smithwick *** >"This is a tale of sex, lies and junkfood" - Twin Peaks > >[disclaimer : nope, I don't work for NASA, I take full blame for my ideas] -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu "If Commodore had to market sushi they'd call it `raw cold fish'" -- The Bandito, inevitably stolen from someone else
