Hello all,
I have just bought an A1200, and know nothing about Amigas.  I bought
Rainbow Islands, but it does not work on the 1200.  I was told I
needed a "degrader" program to make my machine backwardly compatible,
which I got.
However, the instructions with the degrader are either unclear - or the
program simply does not work.  No matter what I try - including the
"early startup options" on the 1200, Rainbow Islands just will not
boot.

Am I doing something completely stupid, or does anyone know of a
way to get it working, or a better degrader program, or will Rainbow
Islands never work??

I hope someone can help, as Rainbow Islands used to be one of my
favourite games.

Please email me on: [e-mail] or post replies to these
groups.

Thanks,
Craig
