I don't know if it's expansion memory or not.  I have an A1000 with 2 1/2 
megs and two drives.  DM *never* crashed during the whole time I played it.
But DMII does weird things every now and then.  I have never had it
actually CRASH so that I had to reboot, but I have gotten to the point where
I chose to reboot rather than tolerate disappearing limbs.
 
Is there a good way to handle using the hint oracle?  I mostly don't use it
at all, because it is such a pain to stop the game, boot the utilities disk,
and reboot the game (which takes forever).   My manual says something about
using the restart (restore?) option on the oracle menu, but I ain't got no
such thing.
