I can't report on the programs you asked about, but I can say I have had
almost no trouble at all.. 'cept for Shadow of the Beast.

I'd like to know... I haven't got it.

Try JameCo Electronics in California... you'll pay about $14.95 there... that
seems pretty good from what I've seen.

Misc. Comment:	I haven't noticed the minor speed increase at all.  I'm not
	sure it was even worth the $15 I threw into it.  I'm not really
	upset, just disappointed... However, we should realize that you're
	almost never going to get something for nothing, and expecting a
	different chip to move significantly faster with the same clock is
	misguided.  There is some slight improvement, but don't expect anything
	really noticable.
