I'm running a 1000, 2.5 megs of memory (512K chip, 2M fast), WB 1.3. I run with Xoper going most of the time, and I am running 300K chip, 1.5M fast ram memory free with UUCP, Xoper, and Intuitracker running. The problem apparently is that Intuitracker uses CIA timer A, which was inadvertently undocumented by CBM as being used by the serial port. Most of the time it *will* work, but occasionally, BOOM! Intuitracker and UUCP will disagree. It has to do with how fast the serial port interrupts get serviced by the CPU. Your Amiga 3000 is probably fast enough at 2400 baud. You might try a 9600 baud Zmodem transfer while running Intuitracker, and I can very nearly guarantee you'll GURU. -- ben@epmooch.UUCP ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu {chinet,uokmax}!servalan!epmooch!ben (Ben Mesander) War in gulf: newpath 288 396 216 0 360 arc 288 612 moveto 288 180 lineto 288 396 moveto 136 244 lineto 288 396 moveto 440 244 lineto 36 setlinewidth stroke showpage
