Hi, I've been reading the list for a year or two now - never replied before *grin* - I'm one of those silent lurkers mentioned a few months back. Does this mean I might finally be able to load in Astroball, Manic Miner and Sam Strikes out? I managed to load in some of my own old disks, but (maybe not suprisingly) none of my protected ones. Gave up fairly quickly & they're all hiding in the attic again now, along with poor abandoned Sam himself. I think I got Splat working though. Infuriating music to say the least.
