Well I just got a copy of SimCity and it did not work either, so I called up Maxis
Tech Support and asked them about it.  His reply was that yes there is a known bug
in SimCity, and yes they are going to fix it.  However, he did not mention anything
about 020's the bug has to do with when you have too many Drives and/or partitions,
appearently if you have more than 2 disk drives and/or HD partitions there is not
enough (chip?) memory for SimCity.

So perhaps all you guys who say it works when you boot from the SimCity disk aren't
mounting your harddrive.  Is this possible?  I unfortunately have 2 drives and a 
2090a card.

One thing I would like to see someone try is making a copy of the disk, and then
modifing the start up sequence of the new disk so that it does not load wb, I wonder
if this would give you enough chip memory to run the program.

I would try this but my copy got munged by a zealous airport security check (First time
I ever let a disk get x-rayed).

Well good-luck and may the Force be with you.
