- I'm sorry but I think it's taking it a bit too close to the line saying
- F-18 Intercepter was "OS-legal" I mean you couldn't run anything whilst it
- was running and you couldn't quit. Also even the data directory was "df0:"
- which was actually built into the code!! You couldn't run it from df1: or
- HD without assign df0: dismount then re-assigning df0:
-
- OK F-18 did run on my A1200 which suggests it was friendly with the system
- but in terms of OS legality it's a fine line. It certainly wasn't
- "user-legal"! As for speed it was quite fast, even on my old A500, so
- there! (Not much of an improvement on the A1200 mind you).
-
- Blast from the past over.
