Saw something unusual the other day, and am hoping someone can
clarify it for me.
   Is there a known compatability problem with early 128's running
in 64 mode? The one in question is marked '85 on the case. It will
run some 64 stuff just fine, but some things (Print Shop, for example)
just attempt to boot and leave the drive whirring away into limboland.
I verified that the drive is fine, and the software in question boots
fine on a 64, or for that matter on another 128 of later vintage. One
thing that disturbs me is a mention by the owner that one of the games
in question occasionally would boot fine, but has now quit altogether
even though it still boots on another 128 or 64.
  Strange......
Please respond.
