Missiondisk 1 used to work under 2.0 (I think); it currently doesn't (black screen when you select "take off"). It does work fine on an A3000 under 1.3 (just splashed two migs to test it - I forgot how annoying Aim-9J's were). Make sure under 2.0 you aren't running any hotkey programs/blankers/ etc, and you aren't using an A2024 WB screen. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.
