Having just received my brand new A3000, I have some questions mostly relating
to the new commands in OS version 2. There are some commands which are not
documented in the _Using Your System Software_ manual:
- What is iprefs? I notice that the default startup-sequence
runs it.
- There's no documentation on the cpu command.
- Likewise for the setfont command (the manual does refer to it,
though).
- Some options in some commands don't seem to be recognized, yet.
Will they be implemented in the final version as documented?
The OS release is 2.01 --- it seems that 2.02 hasn't reached Finland, yet.
I have noticed that running _Their Finest Hour_ by Lucasfilm Games produces
some graphics glitches ('flashing' disturbance patterns on the screen). Is
my Amber mistuned or is this a compatibility problem? I suspect the latter
as no other software produces graphic glitches. However, there were identical
glitches with other software before I finetuned my Amber.
BTW, using the mouse as a controller for this game seems to be too slow on
the A3000. It has been a long time since I played it on my A500, but I
remember no problems with using the mouse (currently it's unusable). Anyone
else notice this problem?
Thanks in advance,
