I bought an Amiga 3000 about three weeks ago and I love it to death.
Even thought I knew going in that many games were not going to work I still
miss them and I can't help but think that if I knew more about what I was
doing I could get more of them to work.  About the only trick I know is
rebooting under kickstart 1.3 and trying from the old OS.  This helps
sometimes, but games like Seven Tiles (on ab20) say you need to remove
fast mem.  This can't mean prying the chips out, but the game is DMS'ed
onto a non DOS disk that must be booted from.  How can you turn off fast
mem and have it stay off in a reeboot?

This is just one question and I am sure there are others, so how about if
everybody who knows some clever trick to make a program work on the 3000
posts the details here.  I'll even start to keep a list and periodically 
publish summaries.  I know that some of this is accomplished by the software 
compatibility list that has been going around, but I think there are more 
tricks than are listed there.

Thanks,

Dave
