[comp.sys.amiga] SimCity Blues

SimCity has some serious problems multitasking.  I couldn't run it at all
from my workbench (A2000 w/Bridgeboard) and therefore couldn't do any 
printing.  But all is not lost.

After about 10 different attempts, I was able to copy SimCity using Nib 1.0
with the parameter for Space Racer.  Good news, since I could then delete
their printer driver an copy my normal driver to the new disk.  And then
I used the WB1.3 CopyPrefs command to change the system-configuration on
the SimCity backup so it would look for my driver.

And what do you know, it worked. So now I have a backup that can use the
print option.

Has anyone been able to dispute or verify this statement:

  "SimCity requires 400K of contiguous chip RAM."

I notice that Thad says it does not run with only 375K chip RAM available.
