AmigaBasic was developed by Microsoft (their on Amiga-program) and is very prone to failing/crashing. To get AmigaBasic running correct under AmigaOS 2.04+ do the following:
(the following tips were written by Andreas Mixich and came from the old Amiga FAQ)
- run NoFastMem (or turn off FastMem).
- Switch off sound output in the Sound prefs editor.
- Better avoid SUBs and use GOSUBs instead, then the compatibility with newer processors will be higher.
- There is a patch you should run at the beginning of AmigaBasic:
`" AmigaBASIC patch to let AmigaBASIC work on A1200 and other newer machines.
`" Start at the beginning of AmigaBASIC or invoke AmigaBASIC with this program
OPEN "AMIGABasic" AS 1 LEN=1
FIELD #1,1 AS d$
i&=&HF3*256+&H87 : PRINT i&
GET #1,i& : a$=HEX$(ASC(d$))
PRINT a$
IF a$="79" THEN
LSET d$=CHR$(&H78)
PUT #1,i&
END IF
CLOSE 1
