   It worked on the CoCoFPGA just great except for being restricted to the
   keyboard. The UP/DOWN keys wouldn't work. I could never climb any
   ladders and the "Homer" dude would get me.

     No go with the 2mb coco3
     I tried to LOADM "D3" while mounted in DRIVE 0-3 of DW.
     I tried mounting the disk with the SDC
     I tried using a physical floppy in both drives (0/1) of my fd502
     When I used my 512 k coco3 both SDC and fd502 worked but drivewire
     wouldn't work with either
     Carl D reported that it did work with his 2mb if he put it into 512k
     mode with the jumper

     Just for clarity sake...
     Will it not run on the 2MB CoCo 3 under any drive configuration?
     Some software just flat out will NOT run under DW (or COCONET) if
     the
     author created their own DSKCON routines and didn't use the disk
     basic
     routines. You'll find some (or all?) of the Sundog games are like
     that, as
     well as some of Bjork's games, IIRC.
     The SDC will run anything I've ever thrown at is since it's a
     hardware
     emulator.

     I have an original disto 2mb coco3 circa 1990. There is not a jumper
     for
     me to move on this model of the 2mb to make it 512k

     The game did play great on my 512k coco3. Lot's of fun. I will
     definitely
     buy the full version when released

     On a side note; the disto 2mb coco3 runs all of the Sierra software
     perfectly. I know the new 2mb has problems with those games. I
     wonder what
     the difference is between the original 2mb and the new upgrade?

     For some reason I'm not getting all the mail from the list, but the
     Holiday
     Demo runs fine on my 2MB CoCo3 with the 512K jumper in place.

     I don't have one of the new 2mb upgrades to test.

     Did you try the 512k compatibility jumper?
