Re: Some place else to download a2gameserver?

Great! Thanks.

I just downloaded the latest file, but I'm about to head into work
(first day of work for 2007, how depressing), but I did a couple of
quick tests. It's very close.

2 problems:
- sendMessage "LOADING DRIVER" needs to be on caps, otherwise it hangs
here.
- The sos file starts to load at 800 thru to 840, but after that it
stalls repeating ·8C\ again and again. Maybe it's a lowercase that
you missed here?

I will continue to test it with the SSC in slot 3, but I think you have
convinced me that in the future I should do the card shufflaroo and
ultimately put the SSC card into slot 2 like normal people ;-)

Please let me know what you find.

Cheers & thanks again.

Phil
