Yeah, once I made a backup copy of the scenario disk, and write
protected the first one, W3 was willing to let me all the way into the
game. I just thought it was interesting that they changed things so
that the game expected the scenario disk to be write protected instead
of the boot disk.

And yes I've downloaded Silvern Castle and have it installed on a hard
drive image for my IIGS emulator. I have yet to play it but I do have
it. I wish there was a way I could play it on my Apple IIe, but I
don't have a hard disk for it nor a 3.5 disk drive. I have recently
won an Apple IIc from Ebay, which is now on it's way to me via UPS, so
maybe I should pick up a 3.5 disk drive for it and eventually put
Sivern Castle on 3.5 for that computer.
