[comp.sys.amiga] Fatter Agnus and Superview

foy@aerospace.aero.org (Richard Foy) (02/21/90)

I have been using the IFF viewer superview. However I recently
upgraded to an Amiga 2000 with the 1meg of chip ram. If I try
to run superview TWICE it freezes the machine.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening.

I have noticed a similar phenomenon with Superview and FANG.  I used to
run Superview on my 2000 with Motherboard 4.5 and 512k Agnus.  It worked
fine.  I upgraded to a 6.2 Motherboard with 1Mb Agnus and whammo.  Superview
no longer works at all.  Instantly I get the infamous:
Software failure --
Task held complete all Disk i/o....

then I get to talk with GURU for a while.

Any idea how to fix this or if what the newest version of Superview is?

David Grothe, author of superview, is a member of our local user group. I'll
forward your message to him, and see what he has to say about it.
