I, too have a C128D.  I have tried using FH version 6.0 with it but it would
not work; that is until I switched the 1571compat. internal to the C128D to
drive #9 and then used a 1571 drive as drive 8.  It works fine now.  I also
have had problems with using many word processors, like Geos, when the
1571 compat. was drive 8 and the computer does not play digitized sound well
. For example the game Cave of the Word Wizard a childrens spelling game
requires the Wizard in the game to say the word aloud and have the child
respond with the correct spelling; unfortunately one has to turn the voluem
of the Monitor/T.V.(have tried it with both) up to maximum to hear him 
whisper.  I tried the same game with a C128(old version) and the game
works perfectly as do SID tunes like the theme from Skate or Die(digitized
sound).  Any others have the same problems?  I have had the system checked
and it is in perfect shape, design flaws.
