- Greetings!

- I don't have any experience with Ultima, but using SuperStor, the game
- Castle Wolfenstein has problems with the speed of the decompression.
- I'm assuming this is the problem because I hadn't had it when I ran
- Wolf on an uncompressed drive. I imaging the game constantly loads
- it's mazes from the HD. So any games that run in real time and load
- data from the HD will probably be affected.
-
- Hope this helps!
