 On my system (2 meg Fast Ram, 1.5 meg Recoverable RamDisk, 1.2
Workbench, 2 floppies) both Defender and Marble Madness work fine, it
must be something else that's causing your problem. For faster response,
I usually copy Marble Madness or disk 2 of Defender to RAM: (for some
reason if both disks of Defender are copied to RAM: the computer starts
cheating!).

  Both of those programs work fine with 1.2 and Fast RAM. On the other
hand, Archon and Adept (from EA) will _not_ work with Fast Ram. I wonder
what Electronic Arts will do when A2000 owners start complaining of
broken software? At least I can boot Kickstart 1.1 to avoid the problem,
but with 1.2 in ROM.......
