Anybody else hear this or care to comment??? > > >Ray Pfaff >pfaff@europa.asd.contel.com You know, this is a funny thread: Listen *very carefully*: 1.4 doesn't "work" period right now... So I wouldn't worry about what it works *on*, or *with*. Secondly, as far as I know 1.4 will work just fine with 256K ROMs Thirdly, it's GVP's "fault" if it doesn't work under 1.4 anyway... I suppose the real question is whether the GVP controller *SOFTWARE* will run under 1.4 Finally, no one that knows what the progress of 1.4 is, is going to comment, so don't bother asking those questions -- although I'll say that a number of us might be out of school before we see anything *new* from Commodore, but that's just my cynical attitude.

This is a big LAUGH. You guys are really just trying to make the net giggle, right? Should this be in rec.humor?

Please >>say this is not true. Any help would be appreciated. Gee, I wonder how they did most of the original development on an Amiga 1000? C-A has posted on the net that 1.4 WILL WORK on the Amiga 1000. > Along those lines, I recently heard that WB 1.4 will not work with GVP > controller cards. Anybody else hear this or care to comment??? Hardware is hardware. To make the GVP not work under 1.4 would require C-A to remove all interupt support from the OS. This is not possible. Maybe you'll need a software upgrade; but hardware is hardware. I guess C-A said "It's in there" so many times, that people started to think they were saying "It's so big we're gonna force 512K ROMs on everyone." Personally, when 1.4 is released I'm going to catalog all the commercial software that I use. I'll cross off each package as I (1) receive word that it works under 1.4 or (2) receive an upgrade. (I expect a lot more of #1). When the list all crossed off, I'm going to spend a weekend upgrading the OS, then each package. Ta da! (Yeah, like it'll ever be that simple :-) > Ray Pfaff > pfaff@europa.asd.contel.com -- Tom Limoncelli The computer industry should spend more time in front of tlimonce@drew.edu (new) their computers.

Au Contraire, Dave. I've a friend who has a friend whose father is CEO of Commodore Hong Kong, and HE says that EVERYONE at Commodore is using 1.4 on their machines. HE says it should be released any day now. Please note; if it is not obvious to anyone, this is a RUMOUR. It should be treated as one. However, if you have a pathological need to flame, please direct them to r.rogue@macbeth.Stanford.EDU, since I have no MAIL.TXT.1 there.
