I expect that most productivity software will be upgraded for 2.0 compatibility and features. ROM jumping code, (totally unsupported by CATS for years now) may or may not work with 2.0 ROMs depending on how compatible their code is to 1.2/1.3 kickstart ROM. This may well be the cause of demos and games failing after the official 2000 2.0 "Enhancer Kit" is available. Currently people are testing software under a RAM based kickstart, which is not quite the same thing as ROM. After the official ROM upgrade release, feel free to list things which do or don't work correctly under 2.0. But be sure to list version numbers/dates, etc. to be referenced by others. Anybody have a version of the RoboCity Demo that runs under 2.0? It was my favorite demo on the old A1000 demonstrations. -Ed Berger eb15@andrew.cmu.edu
