Has anyone else with a MegaSTE run into a problem with Spectrum Holobyte's Flight of the Intruder simulator/game? I sent Email to HOLOBYTE on GEnie concerning this, but I've heard how much Spectrum Holobyte cares about supporting atari these days, so I better not hold my breath... My setup is a Mega4STE with TOS v. 2.06, 50Meg internal Seagate IDE, 85Meg external Seagate SCSI (ICD host), and 88Meg Syquest (also SCSI). I know the software works fine on my "old" 1040ST, even off of the external hard drive. But whenever I run it on the MegaSTE, the screen goes blank right after I enter the correct password from the documentation. And the drive a: floppy light goes on, as if it's accessing that drive. I have tried this with both game disks in the drive (no, not both at once 8^> ), but to no avail. I have also removed all accessories and the AUTO folder, so I can't see where something else is interfering (no TSR's). I have tried to run from drive E: (IDE), drive H: (SCSI), and drive A: (floppy). Still N.G. And when I try to boot from the floppy, I get 4 bombs. Out of desperation, I have unplugged my MIDI cables and kept my DeskJet powered off, but there is no difference in the result. Does anyone out there have any idea what gives?? The manual explicitly says that the program will run on a MegaSTE... (just not _my_ Mega STE... B^0 ) Jeff Andrews GEnie: J.ANDREWS23 jsa@rcinet.utc.com
