Re: Can't get some downloaded games to run on my IIGS

["Giorgio Ungarelli" <giorgio@ungarelli.net>]

I have.  Test Drive II will work if booted from the floppy disk.  However,
Dark Castle (which does not have a bootable diskette) won't.  I'm wondering
if it is GS/OS 6.0.1 that I have on my hard disk which is the problem.  I'd
like to try booting 5.0.4 from a floppy disk then trying to run Dark Castle.
Does anybody have a .SHK image of a bootable 5.0.4 floppy disk they can
e-mail me?
