Core A1200 and some problems with software
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2021 5:48 pm
Hi,
I have a problem with running a few games, programs on my freshly acquired A1200:
[*] Workbench 3.1 Cloanto - read error on bootable, but it somehow starts after Cancel
[*] Lotus 3 - Software Failure / Error 8000 0004 (copy)
[*] SWOS - black screen while loading the second floppy disk (it was supposed to be the original, I got a pirate)
Each of the above from different sources, and the same problem, does not work.
On the other hand, Workbench from another source or the original game that I got with the Amiga come in without a problem.
All problems disappear after putting the Gale 1211 extension into the Amiga.
Same behavior of these floppy disks on another Amiga.
Does this mean that the items listed do not work on the basic configuration and need to be expanded?
Will I be able to check it somehow before buying it?
Times have changed and maybe the extension is now standard and basic configuration
Games are old titles so I'm surprised. On the other hand, they are not really the originals.
The same behavior on another A1200 suggests, however, that this is not a problem with my A1200 or the other one.
Thank you for your help.
