[snip tale of woe about most games not running on a B+/1770 DFS]

I'm really quite intrigued by this, as it sounds as if you have a reasonably
standard setup, and I'd expect the titles which didn't run to be very much
in the minority.

Let us know which titles you have problems with, and what the problem is -
in some cases it's bound to be very simple (e.g. early Acornsoft titles used
to check the machine OS in the basic loader with INKEY-256, and would abort
with a message if it wasn't OS1.20, yet I think all of them were perfectly
happy to run on a Master and could be persuaded to do so by deleting the
offending line of Basic).

Cheers,
Rich
