I also have a 2000 with an XT bridgeboard and also a 30M hardcard both of which I removed to try to get various games to run... NO JOY! My final, and very drastic solution was to go out and buy a 500 purely for running games. This has solved the problem, proving that the games themselves are not faulty, only written in a non portable way. There may be some Amiga experts out there who will blast my theory to pieces but this is the experience that I have had. It's bad news for 2000 owners but what can you do? -- Peter Bishop. || ...!mcvax!ukc!stc!pjb STC TSD-E, Engineering Services, 20-22 Edinburgh Way, Harlow. Essex CM20 2DE Phone : +44 279 626626 x2795
