Is that the only problem with the fx? I thought the floppy drive had
problems with certain types of copy protection?

Regarding the ci, doesn't the way memory is allocated affect certain
games?

If the problems are all 32 bit Quickdraw(in ROM), is there no way to
override the loading of it, and just use ordinary Quickdraw?
