And if EOS is prior to the IIgs, why does it explicitly state that it 
will not run in the package?  Maybe they put code in to detect the IIgs 
and then not run?

At this point the last difference would be the CPU and some 
softswitches.  The program may be using an 'undocumented feature' in the 
IIe that does not work the same on a IIgs.  Maybe a 65c02 opcode or a 
softswitch of some type?

Curious: Does EOS run on a IIc?
