I run OS 2.0 on an Amiga 3000. Until now I haven't found a single music program (like Sonix or MED) that will work with OS 2.0 on the A3000 - this really proves how stupid it was to remove that CIA timer which is used by just about every multitasking music program on the Amiga. Does a music program exist that works w/OS 2.0 and the A3000? The program must multitask. T.Lodberg

You can use Sonix and MED on a 3000 with 2.0! First you must run a
patch program to change the references to CIA timer A to CIA timer B. The
program you need is in the file SonixPatch.lzh on ab20.larc.nasa.gov in the
incoming/amiga directory. Try it...

DMCS works fine. Sonix also works, although you need to run a patch program on it. Mike Shapiro ms0p@andrew.cmu.edu I don't live in fantasy; I only work there.

MED2.13 will work, but it needs to be patched to use the other CIA. I was just running it before I read your posting. The fixed version can be found on our friendly Amiga FTP site, abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov. Just to be clear, I have an A3000 with 2.02 and 1.3, both of which support the patched MED just fine. -- Alan Bair SSDT (formerly SPS CAD) Motorola, Inc.

I tried SONIX patch on MED with no success. No mention is made in the readme re. whether it has to be run on source or object code. I tried it on object. No luck.

I have heard that using the CIA B timer will give you problems while using terminal programs? Is this true? I run a multi-node BBS system with two high speed modems (38400 / 19200 baud) and would like to use run MED simultaneously using OS 2.0. Will the patch that patches CIA A -> CIA B cause any problems?
