Please note that Marble Madness DOES work from either RAM: or a hard disk if
you "fix" it using a program that circulated among the BBS systems over four
years ago.  It also works on an '020 or '030 Amiga.  The program:

	CLI6> ls -l arc010:eacopy
	-----rwed 86-08-18 22:38:57    2      637 qcopy.doc
	-----rwed 86-08-18 22:42:20   15     7212 quickcopy
	-----rwed 86-08-18 22:43:46   17     7816 quickeac
	Dirs:0    Files:3    Blocks:34    Bytes:15665   

and the contents of ``qcopy.doc'':

	To all who use quickea:

	This program unprotects Electronic Arts programs such as DVIDEO,INSTANT
	MUSIC and MARBLE MADNESS.  Once those programs are copied with quickea
	they are unprotected and can be copied at any time with diskcopy.
	PLEASE 	use discretion and just use it to back up YOUR originals. We
	don't want to see the AMIGA software dry up because of illegal programs
	floating around.  Use it wisely and use it well.

	P.S. Ignore the requester asking for volume "L" on Marble Madness, just
	click cancel when it appears each time and double-click the MM icon as
	usual to play game.
                     Thanks,
                     Mike T.
