- Boot up with OS 1.3. Early Xiphias CDTV titles depended on an
- undocumented side-effect of one of the ROM functions, and that
- side-effect went away in OS versions 2.0 and higher. The result
- is that those early titles simply will not run under any OS higher
- than 1.3. Not a problem with CDTV, since it was only 1.3 (the 2.0
- upgrade never happened), but a problem with trying to emulate a CDTV
- on a "normal" Amiga, for sure.
