My version of ELITE (I regret the 90,- DM I paid) shows something different.
It crashes on A1000 and A2000 (the game continues to run but the screen
is garbled) and runs on an A500 and my A1000 with 68020 (altough I had
to disable the cache to get a clean picture), I didn't check this with
32bit mem.
Maybe the A1000/A2000 machines are slower than the A500, thus
missing the point to restore the bitmap pointers.
