Although the disk image was desigend to help people get started with
Sweet16, it should of course run just fine in other emulators, or a real
IIgs. You might need to change the Link Layer to suit the host as you
have done.

I think the clue is in the title, Sweet16 Starter Kit! Marinetti and
other inits, would inded be assuming it was running under Sweet16.

As I have said, the disk was built and designed for Sweet16, so it may
not like an unexpected environment.

I have no objection to anyone taking the disk image, and changing files
to make it run under other emulators. You should include the PDF
instructions, but otherwise, just change the name of the zipped file,
and add a Read.Me file to explain what has been changed.

In the announcement, my mind was so full of version number changes for
SAM2 and SNAP, that I inadvertently said the disk image had System 6.0.2
installed. That should of course have read 6.0.1...
