- Most work with the only problem being that music will sometimes get slurred
- if the program access the disk drive. Actually, the slur occurs when the
- cache is trying to catch up (and actually doing disk acceses).
-
- The games that have had problems are those with digitized speech and
- those which try to take over the whole machine (like Ultima 7). With
- speech some work, some don't. In most cases you can disable the speech
- option if it is a problem (or just dual-boot to DOS).
-
- I hoping for a fix for these problems so I never have to boot into DOS.
