Anyone had any luck getting the IIgs Gaming Memory Fairway's SHK images
for Alien Mind running on a real ROM03 IIgs?  They appear to expand
properly to floppy, but all I get is a black screen when I try to boot
the game.  If I try to access the Control Panel after booting, I get
dumped to the monitor with a few lines of inverse flashing red-on-black
trash text in the center of the screen.  Do these images need to be
cracked?  Also, is it possible to install the game to a HDD from these
images?

     The cracked version of Alien Mind seems to be kind of famous for not
running on ROM03 machines. One poster mentioned that the original disks worked
okay on his 1.25MB ROM03 (don't recall that anyone said it booted okay on
ROM03's with more memory).  A try would be to pull your Expansion Memory and
see if the copy will work with 1.25MB.

Thanks.  I'll give that a shot and post the results here.
