- No problem. Three items:
- - Deactivate your Fast RAM (*if* it is mapped beyond the 16 MB limit),
- just use NoFastMem from Workbench.
- - If you have a newer OS with a Sound prefs editor, then disable any
- sound output in this editor. Else it collides with AmigaBasic's
- own sound generation.
- - Avoid real SUBs, use old GOSUBs, because this causes problems on
- processors greater than 68000.
