Just a word of warning......
Activision's new game "Beyond Dark Castle" doesn't work on a 2500.
I have tried both 68020 and 68000 mode, but it still won't work. I tested
the game on a 500, and it works fine.
Symptoms are a "Pink" screen after you enter the "words from the manual"
Also, when re-booting after trying to load the game, my battery-backed
clock returns <unset> <unset> <unset> when doing the setclock load. It
recovers after setting the date and time, and doing a setclock save.
I am returning the game to the store, and getting my money back. There is
NO excuse for the game not running on my machine. Activision obviously didn't
test it out on a 2500 before releasing the game.

You think that's bad! CMI didn't test the Processor Accelerator for A500 on an A500 before they released it!!
