That game might require some FAST RAM, and you may not have any FAST RAM in your A2000 while your Dad may have FAST RAM in his A500. Your A2000 came with 512K CHIP and 512K FAST. Adding the 1 Meg AGNUS made your A2000 all CHIP. That presumes no addon RAM boards. The A500 comes with only 512K of CHIP, but if you add the A501 to bring it up to 1 Meg…you'll end up like your A2000 before the mod….1/2 and 1/2. Some programs have been improperly written assuming FAST RAM exists which is an improper assumption. Presuming you are careful, and know what you are doing…sure, you can take the metal shielding off the drives to clean them. Just don't bump the heads or turn any adjustment screws. Commodore has bought drives from many manufacturers over the years. Electrically, they may be identical, but physically they can be different. I'm considering getting back into writting again…but nothing definate yet. Don
