   My suggestion is to insert an 'AddBuffers df0: 600' command in
Startup-Sequence, the exact figure depending on available chip ram. This
works very well for several other games as well, and avoids cluttering your
HD. Do put the AddBuffers command on the disk as well.

   BTW, this was on a copy of the copy protected _original_ - HD
installation may be hard with BT1 due to the protection.
