Rusty -

I have the "wedge", and run it on CLI & Workbench disks. I suspect that
it would fix the games, but they expect to be booted like workbench
disks. Since this does (should do?) a system reset from the WCS up, I
don't know of any way to install said wedge. If someone knows how to
do this, or knows how to start the games from the Workbench or CLI
without resetting the system, let me know and I'll give it a try.

Also, someone claimed that what I said "wasn't so." Sorry, but the
facts are that I've got those two EA games; they booted last time I
tried them on the MC68000, and they now don't boot on the MC68010. I
suspect EA of having written code that doesn't make the move, but it
could be software rot. Someday, if I get motivated, I'll take the
disks to my dealer and see if they boot.
