Robert,

As you are only running Apple II games (i.e. not IIgs specific) they
should not be using the IIgs memory expansion card at all, but rather
the soldered RAM on your motherboard (the emulated //e memory) - it is
likely that if bad RAM is to blame that it would either require
desoldering the bad chips and replacing them, or getting a new
motherboard. Having said that, it can't hurt to pull the 4Mb RAM card
out and re-test - you never know, you might get lucky.

If its only Joust that is causing issues though, maybe there is
something going bad on the disk, a timing issue with your floppy
drive, or maybe even a mild incompatibility with the IIgs? You would
think that if bad memory was to blame you would see problems in other
games/software as well. Have you tried running the IIgs' inbuilt
diagnostic test? Just throwing some ideas around...

Hope this helps,
Mike
