- Yes. It appears while running in interpreted mode, and in the compiled
- software. I've been getting around it by buying second hand Amigas
- with KS3.0 ROMS in them but that's crazy because at the rate they fail,
- (hard drives refusing to boot, video chips getting fried occasionally,
- floppy drives getting stuffed by dust) we aren't going to be able to
- sustain
- our system for too much longer. Tough luck for passengers, they'll just
- have
- to take pot luck to get to their train on time.
-
- I am using AMAL to scroll screens up and down, and left and right. I am
- also using the serial port functions. What I really need to know is what
- hardware or firmware - specific code exists within AMOS, and then
- I need to find out what is actually different between KS3.0 and KS3.1 so
- I can track the problem down and maybe avoid it in future.
-
- Unfortunately, I am legally unable to give you my code (as much as I
- would
- like to) because it belongs to Queensland Rail.
