   I've been wanting to purchase an Amiga-3000, but my dealer here tells me only
   about 60% of software runs on it, even under 1.3.  Anyone have a list 
   of software which will run on the 3000?  Including games and useful software
   as well.

	If a program breaks on an A3000 using KS1.3, it breaks under all
	the acceleretor cards on the market and it's not worth using.

	I don't use KS1.3 in my A3000 any more. I didn't install the 1.3-
	partition on my new 210M Quantum. There is quite few programs
	that break in my Amiga. Usually those that don't work I wouldn't
	use anyway.

	I guess it would be easier to write a list of the software that
	doesn't run in A3000. But the lists would be a disaster to WB2.0.
	Why ? If someone who does have old ROMs write that list, there
	will be a lot of software, that does run on the new ROMs. Commodore
	has done a lot to improve compatibility lately.
