It is not hopeless!!  Chipwits will work under the new ROMs, just strangely.
The way to do it is, make an MFS Ramdisk (or floppy I guess) with a System
and Finder so it will be the Startup disk.  When Chipwits is double clicked,
it will clear the screen and seem to hang.  Clicking the mouse seems to
get it going (don't ask me why).  I have succesfully run Chipwits this way.
Give it a try and let the net know the results, maybe I'm just a unique
case or something. (no cracks please)
