This is a known problem.  (By the way, it's not a "Z" chip.  "M68000" is the
name of a family of processors from Motorola.  This family includes
the individual chips MC68000, MC68010, MC68020, MC68030, and MC68040.)

Er - what is your problem running AmigaBasic with an 020? It runs here and at
Jerry's house with the one line patch Carolyn mentioned on bix... Go to offset
$0000F384 in the load file for AmigaBASIC. Original has $20327900. Change that
to $20327800 and run.

On another paw - though - AmigaBASIC is perhaps a bit <cough> improvable for
other reasons...
