So I guess I need the "Transformer". What I would like to know is Hang in there, Mark Tomlinson who wrote IBeM is currently working on an upgrade that will allow IBeM to work on ANY model Amiga with ANY amount of memory. On a 68000 it'll be just as slow as transformer used to be (Norton SI rating of .1) but it will at least work reliably (Transformer seemed to have real problems with KS1.3/1mb chip etc) and more importantly multi-task (Transformer took the system over) and support hard-disk partitions... Now if only Mark would stop bug-hunting for long enough to read this group and reply himself... :-) ----------------------------------------------------------- | o John Davis - CHEM194@canterbury.ac.nz o | | o (Depart)mental Programmer,Chemistry Department o | | o University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand o |
