<can we....CONFUSE THE LINE EATER WITH MULTITASKING??!!??>

Thanks to the all the faceless (from here) names that suggested the Amiga 'lo
these many months ago...this is the best computer I've ever owned!  But to
business...

I have a 500, 1M expansion w. clock (A501), and second floppy drive sitting on

	  direction would be the best to run once inside the castle?
	- There is a portion in Rick Dangerous, in the pyramids, that looks
