Where did you get your copy of The Seventh Link? The one I tested was from from Briza's 
collection and the results are puzzling.

The game displays correctly with VCC. It displays correctly with MESS .134b but not more 
recent versions. With newer MESS versions the left edge of the screen was moved about 1/3 
to the right and the right side folded over on the left. I think that's what you see.

The game can't be started with DW3 because the disk image can't be read. The image is a 
DMK type even though it is labeled .dsk and DW3 (my copy at least) won't read .dmk disks.

Is there a more recent version of DW3 that reads .dmk images?
