Hi Energy, well, my 2 cents: it may indeed be a virus that's causing
your problems. I looked up  0000 0000 guru, it's a CPU Exception,
 which happened to me often when I had a virus years ago.
What you will need is a 'clean' Workbench disk, keep it write-
protected, and then run a virus program on your hard drive,
 I have a feeling that it's infected as well....(I use Virus
Checker II Version 2.5)

As for the games, you may have to try EBay (spit) or something.
Even without a virus, a disk's lifetime is limited, anyway...

Good luck....

Hi Energy, everyone has given some good advice. As said before,
it may be possibly a floppy drive problem too, but never had
that cause a CPU Exception...
Not sure about copyright issues, but re-writing the boot block
should do the trick, as stated. But PLEASE get a good virus checker,
because IIRC, a virus can 'migrate' from memory to a disk and vice-versa.

So, write-portect your disks, and get something like virus checker II
(I have VC set to check boot-block of any inserted floppy disk.)

As for a HD and newer ROMs, well it certainly makes the Amiga
easier to use. Only idea for you is that you could (eventually)
install WHDLoad and play those games from the hard drive.
My father had quite a few games on his A600 (2 MB chip, 32MB Fast,
1GB harddrive, '030/33Mhz , pretty tricked out for a 600..)
