Amiga Basic on Amiga 1200

[bloodline]

Hi all,
I like to mess about with Amos pro, and when I had my A600 I used to use Amiga Basic that came with the A500.

I can not remember if this has already been talked about but, is there some way that
 I can use Amiga Basic on my A1200?

TIA,

Mike.

IIRC Amiga Basic simply doesn't work on OS 2.0+, so if you wanted to run it you would have to run a "degrader" to boot into OS1.3 (proabably a good idea to disable as much RAM as possible, as I'm sure it freaks out if it detects too much).

The big question is why you would want to run it? Much better to use AMOS or Blitz Basic 2 (Blitz being the better option).

Aha I just found this little jem in Aminet, I will give it a try and see how it works out.

OK, yes that Aminet program works very well with no bugs.

Ah! Yeah, it was the CPU that was the problem with Amiga Basic, no the OS! Good find.
