BTW, If you have one meg or more ram you can have an external drive attached *BUT* there CANNOT be a diskette in it(DF1:). The game will NOT boot properly. What happens is it finishes reading the diskette in df0:. Then, it will ask for the second disk to be inserted and to hit the spacebar. From there the game is dead. It doesn't load the disk or anything. Only a power off/on reset will get you out of the situation. Also, I have read many complaints(some quite bitter) on various BBS, that F16 Falcon will not work at all with anything but a 68000 CPU. Those who have installed the 68010 or higher are out of luck. I'm not sure if it will work with the math chip(68881 ?) installed as I don't have the pleasure of having it. +-------------------------------+ ! - Marcus - ! !
