I am having Problems with my 2630. Please let me know if I am alone (and need
my board fixed) or if everyone has this problem.
1) Turbo Silver (FP or not to FP) no worky (I've read that Impulse knows
about this one!)
2) Sculpt 4D often stops rendering and just looks at me (If I use a
half-way complicated object)
3) Opticks (020) does nothing!
4) It oftens hangs, especially anytime I use superview, or just about any
iff viewer.
5) My savings account is empty.
Well, I understand the last one. But the others have got me puzzeled. I have
a bare-bones (HA!) 2500, that is 2megs 32-bit, 1 meg chip, and the 2091.

I have had my A2630 for about three months now and it has worked great with Sculpt 4D. I've done some pretty interesting traces and animations that were pretty complex without a problem. I haven't used the other two programs, but AmigaWorld tested the A2630 on Turbo Silver 3.0. My only guess would have to be a possible conflict with the 2630 and the 2091. This problem manifests itself when the system boots since there is an auto-config problem. Commodore has issued new ROMs for the 2630, 2091, 2088, and the 2286. This upgrade was used when my 2088 stopped working with the 2630, but unfortunately the problem has not cleared. This doesn't sound like the source of your problem, but it might help to know exactly how these programs fail? If you get crashes a lot then I would say check on the ROMs. Hope this has been of some help. ============================================================================= Brian Yamanaka University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign bty00298@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu

There seems to be a problem with the A2091 HD controller and Turbo Silver. A friend of mine (Brett Casebolt author of Scenery Generator) says that he noticed that if you start TS from the icon it will crash soon after the TS screen comes up. If TS was started from an icon from a ram: drive, TS starts up with no problems. On a A2630 system with an A2090a there are no such problems. I was also told that memory location $00000000 content was 0 with an A2090a while with an A2091 there was no 0. Could this be related to the crashes? -- Robert Moskovitz ames!pacbell!sactoh0!pacengr!ramoskov -- ############################################################# # PRIVATE # SAC-UNIX, Sacramento, Ca. # # PARKING # UUCP=...pacbell!sactoh0 # #############################################################

I've successfully run Turbo Silver (version 3.00?) with my 2630. Maybe
you have an older (newer?) version than I do...

This I've seen. I've found that if I run some compiled BASIC program
in the background, it slows the system down enough for Sculpt to run. :-( If
someone has a better solution, I'm all ears!

It's not memory... I have the basic nine meg machine. :-)
