Re: SEGA's arcade rendition of CHOPLIFTER my favorite 8-bit game as of late

Say, thanks for all the feedback and discussion.

I tried the POKE 48984,192 but it didn't work.  It starts up Choplifter 
but just when the tank takes its first shot, the system freezes (or in 
the other CL, it exits the program and displays a P on the screen).

How does one POKE a zero?  I tried POKE 0, 192 but still got the NO 
BUFFERS message.

Anyone got this running on a //c+ yet?

A related question...  if I want to set up a 3.5" startup disk with 
ChopLifter on it... which DOS related files do I need?  I formatted a 
disk using ProDos-- obviously that's not sufficient.  I then copied over 
a ProDOS file from a //c system utils disk... that didn't work.  Then I 
added the BASIC.SYSTEM from a Multiscribe diskette... and it boots up 
with a title ProDOS BASIC 1.1 !   I guess I better copy the BASIC file 
from the sys utils, too.  Should that do it?
