I have had no trouble with MUI 3.2, AMosaic, IBrowse (other than known bugs)
on my A2000/030/40MHz/OS3.1. It all works just fine.

I have an A1200 (OS3.0) belonging to a friend and am getting Internet s/w
running on it for him.  Everything went fine until I tried MUI3.2 & AMosaic.

MUI itself seems to run fine, but Amosaic crashes almost instantly. Most
other applications that run under MUI also crash instantly. I tried
IBrowse -- it crashes instantly. Many of the Guru numbers talk about
access to FPU which his A1200 does not have, others talk about corrupted
memory lists etc...  But according to the docs, they should run fine
on the system. I usually get:

$8000 0003  (Illegal adr access) for Mposaic & Ibrowse
$8000 000B  (68881/2 opcode- no FPU present)

This occurs EVERY time I go into MUI settings from the AMosaic screen
and attempt tp bring up PSI.  Otherwise, it occurs acter several other
operatons.

IBrowse puts up it's initial demo box up, then crashes instantly..

I can run PSI from MUI directly, and as long as Amosaic is NOT running
it seems to work fine.

IS this a common problem with OS3.0, or the A1200?

Thanks for any suggestions..
