- I am a registered user...
-
- The last upgrade I got was quite a while ago, over a year probably. I
- registered when A64 was first developed, got the original package, and
- then somewhat later this one upgrade.
-
- A64 is in almost all ways a very fine piece of work. The one problem
- I have that I really wish would be fixed is that it will not access
- 1541 drives (using the interface box provided to registered users)
- if you are running on an "accelerated" machine (i.e. anything with
- more than a 68000 processor). So although the emulation is really
- quite remarkable, I can't access stuff on 64 disks, unless I first
- copy the 64 disk to an amiga disk using a 68000-based machine. Even
- this is not always possible, since many programs are copy protected.
-
- One more upgrade, Please!!?
