I have seen some postings about problems with master disk type games not working on the IIci. I have a few of those games, which also did not work (Patton vs Rommel, the Kobiyashi Alternative...). However, it is possible to get them working. My solution was to unlock the disk and remove the system files from the master disks. I did this using MacTools. Of course, I made a backup of the system files before I removed them. So far I have not had any problems. The difficulty is usually because the master disk has an old system that will not run the IIci. The reason I removed individual files instead of the system folder, is that some invisible files or copy protection may be associated with the sytem folder. The other alternative is to check with the manufacturer to see if an update has been issued. Upgrading is usually either free or very cheap. maurice Maurice Sharp MSc.
