                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is no 2.0 (or 1.3) to really worry about.  You never see anything except
the game.  It does take about 30 seconds to finish all of its loading and it
NEVER turns off the disk light (even when it is safe to pop the disk out and/or
shutdown).  It also makes several disconcerting noises in the drive, but I have
not seen any evidence of bad effect.

Anyway, to spell out the answer to your satisfaction, I have a 3000/50MB/25MHz
machine with both the 2.0 and 1.3 partitions.  To play Powermonger, I have to
do a cold boot from the floppy game disk.  And everything then works (except
of course for the things they don't want to work, like saving games to a HD...)
