Has anyone had any luck running SimCity from hard disk?  I copy SimCity
and the scenarios directory to a HD directory, leave the floppy in df0:.
Then run SimCity.  It checks df0:, brings up the initial screen, I click on
either new game or load game, and then it promptly exits, devouring 170K of
chip mem in the process.  Same result if I click the icon.  The game works
fine if I just boot the floppy.  Config: B2000, 1.2 ROM, + df1: + ASDG 8Mi/2
+ A2090 + Quantum Q280.  V1.3 printer device, mostly V1.2 other stuff, WShell.
