I was just using the Amiga at my school. I was in Kickstart 1.2 and
just wanted to see if Flight Sim II would work. It came up with alot
of static on top of the scenery with the program crashing in a matter
of seconds. Well, I guess it would only work with Kickstart 1.1. Bam
same problem, static, crash , black out! I tried this over and over again
with the same result. Now I wonder if 1) there are different versions of
the Amiga 1000 (software wise), 2) could running Flight Sim with Kickstart
1.2 have damaged this Amiga (I recall that the Pet computer could suffer
hardware damage through software), 3) or could it be that this Amiga 1000
has defective chips. I know I can get Flight Sim II working fine at home,
but I am not willing to run some tests because of the remote possibility of
"2)" above being true.

I always use Kickstart 1.2 when I play Flight Simulator II. By the way, I got my Amiga in October '85.

Sounds like the machine at your school has only 256k, or a bad 256k ram cartridge. I seriously doubt that you can hurt an Amiga with software. John 7OHN
