I have had a A3000 for 2 and a half months now and I still have OS 2.0. I asked my dealer about the 2.02 upgrade and he said that Commodore told them not to install it on end-users machines because it contained more bugs. I don't see how this can be true, and if it was, why would Commodore release it? The end result is that I have a version of the OS that has bugs. Somw windows when they scroll, scroll some the border graphics, fonts overlap each other on some windows, the shell will not allow certain types of redirection because of some bug, etc. Now I really like the A3000 and all it has to offer, (I use the non-interlaced hi-res screen for my workbench without a hitch) but would like to know when I can update the OS so I can continue doing by Amiga development. I am not looking for the 2.x ROMs, (I would prefer to keep the OS on the harddrive if I had the choice) but a newer version to put on my system. >Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. -- __ Brett Bourbin \ / /(_ /\/ 11440 Commerce Park Drive ..!uunet!visix!brett \/ / __)/ /\ Reston, Virginia 22091 brett@visix.com Software Inc (703) 758-2733
