I use a GVP Hardcard with a Quantum 40 drive including autobooting. Since I installed the autoboot roms, I have troubles running some software, e.g. TurboSilver3.0 by Impulse. It is no more possible to play the created animations, there are always *horrible* graphics distortions that can't be described in words (they are too ugly). Has anybody the same problems? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Brand Berne, Switzerland Wizard BANG: ...!uunet!mcvax!cernvax!impch!accsys!sosaria!wizard OR: ...!uunet!acad!acadch!impch!accsys!sosaria!wizard "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got the same setup on my 500 (Hardcard) and have had compatibility problems with only one program... B.A.D. a floppy disk , hard disk optimizer. The program when run simply hangs up forcing a reboot to get your machine back. The authors of B.A.D. told me that there is an update that works around a problem in the autoboot roms. They also told me that the problem is with the way a certain message port is (or isn't) communicating with the rest of the system when the disk access is sped up. Don't ask me to explain it's just what I (think I) heard. Maybe Turbosilver is using these same or similiar routines to speed up disk access ?? -- ------------------ // -----------Cut-Here---------------------------------- Erick Parsons // Words for the wise: *If it works don't fix it.* Sacramento Ca // mail to: ...pacbell!sactoh0!americ!erk ------------- \\// --------------------------------------------------------
