- Subject: Space Taxi load time
- Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm
- Lines: 19

- After all the talk about Space Taxi on this forum, I ordered it from Tenex
- and have been playing it for a couple of days ( not straight :-) ).
- Anyway, I like the game but the load time is absolutely absurd. This is
- usually not a problem since I have Super Snapshot V5. However, Space
- Taxi disables the fast loader on its own. OK, I've gotten around this
- by making a snap shot of the initial program load. But Space Taxi still
- disables the fast loader for loads between boards which really take much
- too long. If I re-enable the fast loader after the program is loaded,
- Space Taxi usually hangs. The interesting thing is that sometimes it
- doesn't and will do the quick loads between boards (but may hang a few
- boards later).
-
- Does anyone know why re-enabling the fast loader would cause the game
- to hang sometimes but work others? Has anyone gotten Space Taxi to
- work with a fastloader? Thanks.
