[comp.sys.atari.st] Lockup solved..?

BobR@cup.portal.com (10/12/88)

John Kawakami just may have hit on the cause, and solution to the UMoria
lockup problem...!!
 
He suggested that the lockup problem may be related to the Random Number
routines looking at the system clock, and an un-initialized clock might
be causing problems...
 
Accordingly, I added an AUTO folder to my Moria disk, and installed the
program that sets the system clock from the ROM socket clock chip I added
to my ST...  voila..!
 
Where before, the game would lock up 3 out of 4 times, I managed to play
different characters several times yesterday without a single lockup!
 
I imagine *ANY* clock setting program would work, including the Atari
Control Panel ACCessory... the actual time wouldn't matter, as long as it
was non-zero...
 
MANY thanks, John...!
