Emerald Mine only runs on my Amiga 1000 when I have my SOTS 1-Meg board
attached.  It works fine on my father's 500 with 1 Meg, and on my 1000
with 1.5 meg.  But won't boot on my 1000 with 512k.

I think your dealer is cutting his own throat by screwing around with
customer satisfaction.  Especially since Emerald Mine just made #1 on
the list of Best Amiga Games in Amigaworld and he could easily resell it,
and its not like we're talking big bucks here ;-).

I recommend that you bite the bullet and get a memory board.  You will
see more and more stuff on the Amiga that requires at least a Meg, and
sooner or later you will want it.

Emerald Mine is, IMHO, THE BEST GAME on the Amiga.  It can't be beat for
variety and challenge.  And it's less than $20.  Amazing!
