	One thing to note while experimenting is that shutting
off the data and instruction caches on the 68030 via the cpu
command (or the setcpu program for 1.3) will make the vast
majority of games which otherwise crash work beautifully. When I
had a A500 and bought the midget racer, I found that fully half
of my games wouldn't work. For the ones which booted with
AmigaDOS, I placed the setcpu program on the floppy and put a
setcpu nocache in their startup-sequence. The only program this
didn't fix things for was Marble Madness. Every other program
which booted using AmigaDOS worked fine.
	Then there is Psygnosis and the other games like it which
don't even use AmigaDOS to begin with...
