Extra Information about the Atari ST version of Mega-Traveller 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Running on a 512K machine:
-------------------------
If you only have a 512K machine (e.g. Atari 520STFM) then you must autoboot
the program, since there is not enough memory to run it once GEM as
initialised itself. To Autoboot just put disk A into drive A and reset the
computer.
Backing up the disks:
--------------------
To make a backup of the game disks use the supplied diskcopy program. Please
make sure that you write protect the original disks first!
Hard Disk installation:
----------------------
To install onto hard disk:
- Create a folder on your hard disk
- Copy all the files from the 2 disks into this folder
- Double click on TRAV.PRG to play the game.
You can put the original disks away in a safe place since they will not be
needed again.
External Disk drives:
--------------------
If you have an external disk drive then you can put disk B into the 2nd drive
and the program will automatically find it and you will nto have to swap
disks.
Single sided internal drive, double sided external drive:
--------------------------------------------------------
If you have a single sided internal drive, and an external drive then you
may use the supplied BBOOT.TOS program. To use this:
- Format a single sided disk in drive A
- Execute BBOOT.TOS and put the single sided disk in drive A
To AutoBoot MegaTraveller, put the new disk in drive A and MegaTraveller
disk A into drive B and reset the computer. If you get some bombs just press
the reset button again.
Single Sided drives only:
------------------------
You will have to return the disks to the address given in the manual. You will
then be sent 3 single sided disks instead of the 2 double sided ones. When
playing the game you will have to do quite a lot of disk swapping! I would
really recommend that it is about time that you bought a double sided disk
drive.
