I just got a 5.25" 1020 disk and the Transformer for my Amiga 2000 Rev 4.2. I can get it to boot MS-DOS OK using a PSTransformer program I have but I cannot get it to accept any input from the keyboard. It just stops and asks me for the date. Anyone have any luck getting the transformer program to work on an A2000 with extra memory? Please let me know! -Roger

It was re-written to support additional memory over 512K and was released as a free upgrade for use on the Amiga 1000 and Amiga 500. It was not and is not written, designed, promoted, or supported for use on an Amiga 2000. If it works for you, your lucky. If it doesnt, stop by your dealer and look into a BridgeBoard. -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA ARPANET: cbmvax!schein@uunet.uu.net 1200 Wilson Drive Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS West Chester PA 19380 phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.

The main reason for the PS version was to support extended memory and 68010 use. As far as I know there isn't a fix yet(not publicly anyway?) and I do not know if the author is on the Net.

Hello Dan I have the same problem/symptom as Roger but I have the 2088 bridgeboard. When I put the Commodore 2-meg expansion Ram in the slot next to the 2088 (the slot directly to the right of the 2088 looking from the front) the PC will boot but will die completely when prompted for the date. If I move the expansion ram over one slot to the right everything seems to work fine. Any Help? Ken Habe n
