I believe at the very least it used the 1571's fast serial mode, which       should make it very attractive compared to the 64 version. I seem to remember       also that it used the        128 autoboot feature; you didn't have to manually load the game. I can't       remember though if it truly runs in 128 mode, or just boots in 128 mode and       then switches to 64 mode (while still being able to use fast serial). Not sure       if any other games in the        series were like this.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3)    |
