Yes.  But you only need to go that route if it's serial fidelity you
ultimately suspect.  Now that I've done the Wizardry experiment, I'm
less convinced that's what's wrong. :-)

Glad you're getting the help you need.  I did download the Wizardry
disk.  When I told AppleWin to allow read/write access to the floppy
image (it was write protected to begin with), it stopped running.  Not
sure that could be the problem you face with all the images; Bard's
Tale seems to start up even when write enabled, but you didn't mention
the point at which it starts failing.
