[Coco] Re: Leisure Suit Larry problem - bug?

[Charlie]

Thanks for trying it guys.

I downloaded my image again and played it in mess. It worked fine.
So I hooked up the old 486 and made a new disk from the image with no 
troubles.
I play the game booting from the disk on my CoCo and it locked up the same 
way.
I then tried a bunch of stuff and even undid my multipak just ran the disk 
controller and played, same lockup.

Tommorow I will dig out my spare CoCo3 (its a 128k non-upgraded one) and try 
it with just the disk controller plugged in.
I have to clean the rom pak port 1st, i think it is dirty. Last time I tried 
it, disks would not work right. I kept getting an HF error or something 
trying to load programs. and DIR would show graphic characters in file 
names.

Someone told me, "who cares, you dont have to read it to win the game 
anyway." However, I'm curious as to why I have this problem to begin with.
