[Coco] Games that don't fit on floppies (was Super IDE vs. Drive Pak)

[Mark Marlette]

Gene,

Just giving you a hard time....I am quite aware of MyRAM. :)

I do a lot of builds in NOS9 and you can't just throw everything in. Had a recent build that for the first time in a long time, had to reduce, look at the bootlist and make just a good sweep of the system modules. In the end, it was a good exercise. Good to clean house now and then.

The advantages to the 3.2.x is light years beyond the 1.16 days. Great, but we must move forward!

Regards,

Mark

Yes.  Guilty as charged.  :)  Never could understand the reticence of 
others to use it.  But today, so much system ram has disappeared since the 
NOS9 v.1.16 days that it can't always be used. IIRC it needs about 450 
bytes.

Cheers, Gene
