- If I remember correctly, Dungeon Master used direct DMA for it's disk access
- (BAD!) and so doesn't care what TOS version you have and thus will probably
- work fine. Not that using TOS to load should make a difference.
-
- Falcon is file based but may or may not work depending on whether
- it loads to an absolute address since that address may be in use by TOS.
-
- As for Pha$ar, I have no idea. Never heard of it.
