I can open the other coco with the 87 GIME and place in the spare 86 I have. 
This will let me know for sure. I'd still like to get my hands on an 87 
regardless. The sparkles during Nitros9 disk access is very annoying. So 
again, if anyone can spare one, I'd appreciate it.

I am almost positive these games, Iron Forest, and Medieval Madness are not 
release versions. They are the versions floating around on the net. (Briza's 
archive). They don't load and crash 1/2 the time. The text in Iron Forest is 
almost unreadable. The 1st level of Medieval Madness has corrupt 
graphics.... Still, when they do work they are a lot of fun. Very enjoyable.
