I got it to mor-or-less run on a II by examining memory with the micro-debugger and replacing the globals. Instead of rebooting when done, however, I got a spectacular crash where my screen went crazy ALL THE WAY TO ITS EDGE. Not the normal screen boundary, but the whole physical tube... out to the plastic! Upon rebooting, however, MaM came back with it's "All Tests Passed" message. Conclusion: Wait for the author to issue a machine-independent version. Matt
