    I have a patch for Xenocide which NOP's out the 'decrement number of men'
routine, effectively giving you unlimited lives.  I applied this patch
yesterday and went to try it out (it's on my hard drive).  It got to the point
right before it asks for the original disk when the system hung.  I tried
booting off the original floppy, and that would not work either!  BTW, the
patch was only applied to the HD copy of the game.  I finally isolated the
problem:  it turns out Xenocide is somehow incompatible with the RAMFast in
slot 7.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I used to have a non-DMA SCSI card
and Xenocide ran perfectly from the HD.  The only other thing I added since
then is a Chinook 4-meg memory card (but that's not the cause of the problem).
Help, anyone?
