- On 28-Jan-98, Alastair Murray smashed the keyboard with:
- >Does anyone know of any AMOS problems related to 060's?
- >I'm getting reports of problems with some of my programs with them.
-
- I don't know if ya' know this, but:
-
- On blizz1230/50 with fpu, AMOS has often crashes. I used several days to
- try and find the bug, so that I could avoid it..
-
- Problem is:
- -A fast moving loop with an 'inkey$' inside, something like:
- Do
- w$=Inkey$
- if.....
- else if...
- else if...
- endif
- Loop
- (As long as the user don't push a key the loop keeps running around)
- After some time the loop begins to be unstable (strange chars might be
- written, some lines appears on WB) and the Amiga Crashes.. This takes
- around 3 seconds to happen..
-
- The solution is to put a 'Multi Wait' into the loop, this also has the
- advantage of giving some CPU-power to other programs while yours is
- awaiting the user to do something. I expect a similar fix would be to
- put 'wait vbl' inside the loop, but I've never tried..

- Happy greetings, Yours..
