	I have Dungeon Master and an Amiga 1000, and the game keeps
crashing my machine after about 10 minutes of play.  There seems to be
no pattern to the crashes.  Has anyone else had this problem?

	I am using the original disk, not a copy.  (By the way, NIB V1.0
does NOT copy my disk; there must be a new protection scheme.)

	Symptoms:  the mouse pointer suddenly freezes, and the program
accepts no input at all.  No GURU occurs.
	I press CTRL-AMIGA-AMIGA to reboot, and I get the "Insert Kickstart"
(not Workbench!) prompt.
	Once, the mouse simply stopped working in the left-right direction.
The game crashed several minutes later.

	I called FTL (the manufacturer) and they were mystified.  I sent
in my disk and got a replacement.  The replacement disk has the same problem.
I called FTL again and they were still mystified.  They did take my name &
number and promised to call me when they figure it out.

	My configuration:  Amiga 1000 with 512K RAM + 2 megabyte RAM
expansion (Starboard II), C.Ltd. (original) SCSI controller and 50-meg
hard drive, C.Ltd. Timesaver, 2 floppies, Kickstart/Workbench 1.3.

	I have already run a memory test and it found no problems with
my RAM.  I am not having any other problems with the computer.

	Has anyone else with my configuration NOT had this problem?  Has
anybody else with a different configuration had this problem?  Thanks!
