- Um, well scott, I've had games that wont work on my //c.
- DROLL is the first one i found that didn't , and Captain Goodnite did
- too. I suspect either reliance on ROM for this. Or exploitation
- of some incompatible feature of the controller card in ][e's.
- any 'in the know' answer on this ?
-
- I suspect the disk controller and/or
- any associated rom, cause the games used to hang just after boot.
- I suspect dirty 6502 code.
-
- How would one write something to run on the //e, and not the //c,
- without being obvious about it ?
