[comp.sys.apple2] Chessmaster 2100

fsantore@pro-nsdapple.cts.com (Frank Santore) (04/18/91)

Has anyone figured out how to patch the Software Toolworks Chessmaster
2100 to work under GSOS v5.0.4 to be loaded onto a harddisk.  I assume
it's still the best GS chess program around, but it is quite slow
to crank up a 'quick' game of chess from 3-1/2 inch floppies.  My
calls to the company indicate that the current version is v1.1, and
that they won't support the latest GS O/S.  Oh well!
  
Tnx.
  
                                             - Frank.

  I successfully launch it from Prosel 16.  To make sure that it doesn't
hang, I first launch basic, exit back to prosel and then launch
Chessmaster 2100.

There have been uploads for this to Genie and AOL, maybe also CIS.

   I don't suppose these patches can be made available on an FTP site or
through comp.binaries.apple2? Some of us don't have access to the pay
services.

    Would you be kind enough to upload a copy to comp.binaries please?

Speaking of Chessmaster 2100....
I had MicroCenter add memory to my GS Woz edition,ROM 01 to 768K I believe. I 
say this because when I go to the control panel it says I have 1024k in Ram.
Never have actually looked at it. Anyway, ever since Chessmaster will not run.
 I get the first screen, the carriage and banner, the disk flips and flops a
few times and I guess gives up, but I never have the Chessmaster ask me "if I
want to play". 
all other programs work fine except this one.
