Sorry to rush to get off what I can rather than running more detailed experiments, but my base system is being taken offline for major changes starting 24 June; they say it may be a week. I don't have any answers, but I do have a couple more data points. I got Molec3D from isca. It runs on 1 of the 2 A2000's I have access to. I tried it first on one with 1.2 ROM, and .5 M chip RAM, running 1.3 . It's a 5 M machine, with 4 M on an 8-up!. The only hardware that has been altered was I took it in for the problem of eating the first character typed, which I believe entailed removing one capacitor. Molec3D works fine on this machine. I then took it to a newer A2000, with 1.3 ROM, 1 M chip RAM, AmigaDOS 1.3, and 2 M RAM in a GVP Impact + 8 that I am just using for a RAM expansion until I add a hard drive. It wouldn't run. Something flickered when I double-clicked the icon, but all I could see was that the amount of available RAM changed. I normally have ARP and some non-standard libraries, so I booted with the latest plain vanilla system disk I have, the one that came with the second A2000. This time the program loaded and seemed to be running, but complained with a requestor as you describe when I tried to load an example I had looked at with the other machine. Took the exact same disks (boot from vanilla system) back to the first machine, and it still worked fine. Now I gotta get this sent before the University machine turns into a pumpkin. Harry R.
