I recently got an external drive for my Amiga (the A1010) but some
software (Epyx Street-Sports Basketball and the PD game Grav Tech are
two examples) refuses to run when the drive is hooked in! Other software
runs fine, and the drive seems to work great. Could it be a memory
problem? As of now I still don't have a meg (I ordered it with the
computer and the drive, but got put on backorder; grrrr....)... It
worries me a little, especially since I just got this thing and I love
it!

Game software is sometimes written to use all 512k. I would just wait for the memory expansion. If you can't, you can wire a little switch to disable the drive (i don't know which pin offhand), but it shouldn't be difficult. -Vince Lee
