Has anyone out there on the net figured how to get the new 130XE version of
SynCalc(R) to load?  I recently purchased it and am trying to load it on a
normal Atari system.  I.e. 130XE with a 1050 disk drive.  I understand that
it (SynCalc) is extremely sensitive to drive speeds due to the copy protection
scheme.  I have three different 1050 drives, none of which will load SynCalc
with any degree of reliability.  When I learned of its susceptibility to
RPM, I fine tuned all three.  I have one drive set so that it consistently
is at 288 RPM which is the nominal RPM for a 1050.  The other two drives are
set between 286--290 RPM which is the range allowed.  Not one of the three
drives will work -- I have set up each as drive 1 with the other two off line
to make sure and not one will consistently load up.  Is there a magic RPM
that SynCalc likes?  Like maybe the high end (290 RPM) or the low end (286 RPM)
or some other RPM?

If there is anyone from Synapse on the line, I would appreciate something
from the horse's mouth, as it were.  Letters to Synapse, so far anyway, have
elicited zero response.

Thanks in advance,
