I'm a little surprised no one has mentions this (maybe it was in the missing messages?) but you really should add a real accelerator! I have an A2000 that I have used for years, with no troubles. I used a GVP G-Force 030 that was a great board because it would allow any game to play, yet added power to graphics prgs, animations, DTP, or what ever. They can still be picked up without taking out a second mortgage, and help with overall power AND adding extra RAM.
The Accelerator allows running 3.1/3.5/3.9 OS too.
I am just now upgrading to a G-Force 040, so I'll see first hand how compatibility suffers (or not?).
Good luck with your machine...

@ motrucker an accelerator may be on the cards later, but at the moment I'm happy with her capabilities. I just want to see what these Boards that came with her can actually do. Old fashioned curiosity I guess.


I understand. I still use an old A1000 that is a bit expanded, but no accelerator. It is GREAT for old games, and a few old apps like Data Retrieve Pro. It does have a hard drive though.
I get a lot of use out of my A1000 and A2000. They're great machines!
