There is a utility which can modify the game disks to operate with
any slot you wish to have your Mockingboard in, and there is a driver
that loads into AUX RAM which allows the IIc Mockingboard to read the
disks which were modified for slot 2. Prior to release of the MB/D,
I will make up the disks to operate with it, and folks can then mod
their games and other software to operate with it.
