Re: Ultima & Mockingboards on each of the Apples

I'm pretty sure that Ultima V would work with an apple II+ if you had enough memory, at least I seem to remember that but I'm not sure.
None of the mockingboard setup menus for ultima list the mockingboard D. I seem to remember reading that a program needed different drivers for the D which would make sense but I've never used one.
I'm working on a mockingboard and software compatibility page on my apple II wiki, feel free to contribute:

play Mockingboard music on each Apple II.  Lets go over each game on
each type of system:

Apple IIgs - I have read reports that it does work, but others state
that it doesn't.
