I already knew this from the FAQ, as well as the manual. I was hoping there'd
be a way to do it without pressing any keys. (One idea I had was to set up
the hard drive I have so the arcade stuff would be in one file, and the //c+
would drop down to 1 MHz when I accessed it.) I guess I can work around it.

Hadn't thought of that. Hmmm, and I *did* get AW 3.0 with it, too. Thanks,
I'll try it!
