So how good is > the AT&T in this espect? Well, I'm biased in general about this machine, but I can be objective about this: I've used several self-booting games, and all of them worked. The *only* compatibility problem I ever found was when a game program tried to somehow initialize a floppy. Didn't work on my machine, worked on the machine in the store. My machine could *write* to that disk after that. (The game was "Rendezvous with Rama"; when it crashed when you launched the Dragonfly, it crashed in the same place on the machine in the store. Too bad.) I've heard of games that didn't work because the display wasn't compatible enough with IBM's CGA. I've never seen one, though. -Paul S. R.
