I'm soooo looking forward to this, MV, I can't tell ya!  :-)

What I have to add to U5/128: It's really a massive improvement versus 
the C64 version. The music adds a lot to the atmosphere and it doesn't 
load as often by far as it buffers more in the extra RAM of the C128. I 
remember on the C64 it virtually loads every 6 steps or when 
entering/exiting menus. Must have been the slowest game on the 64 
ever... Supports two drives too and when I played it recently on my 
Jiffy-DOS equipped drives it played great!

Does it make use of the 1571 burst-routines on a plain vanilla drive, MV?
