- I don't have any direct experience with Crazy Cars III but I have not
- noticed an extensive problem running software on my A1000. In general
- the problems that I have found have broken down into three categories:
-
- 1. Copy protection that uses disk timing which my old internal drive
- cannot support,
-
- 2. Direct European imports that require a recent Agnus in order to
- software switch to PAL video format,
-
- 3. 1Meg games that assume the presence of C00000 FAST RAM as per an
- A501 memory card.
-
- Hope this helps. P.S. Are you not into carriage returns?
