Um, I just bought "PlayMaker Footbal" form broderbund, and it has
the exact problem you are describing also.  I called Broderbund and
found out that PlayMaker football is incompatible with the IIci.

I suspect that the program would run fine on the IIci, if it could just
get past the stupid copy protection check.  I'll post the results of
that experiment once I get an updated version of Hard Disk Util.
