I don't think that JET is from Microsoft.  Last I looked, it was from
SubLogic.  Also, I recall that it said explicitly that it would not
work on a Mac II.

>Microsoft Flight Simulator

This only works on a Plus (or previous), and you have to boot from the
Microsoft disk.

>Next - do any of these support color on a Mac II?

From the infamous games list:

	Falcon - 1, mf, II
	Chuck Yeager Flight Simulator - *, mf, II

That is, Falcon forces you to go into 1-bit mode (not acceptable to me,
even with Switcheroo), works under MultiFinder, and works on a II. Chuck
Yeager works under any screen depth (at least I think that's what we
decided), and with MultiFinder and Mac II's.
