It ran reliably but I didn't spend that much time with it due to the how _very_slow_ it was... On 2012-12-19, at 16:11, Steve Gray wrote: > I have one and it does work on the C64.

I was wondering whether my cart is broken or something. Then I vaguely recalled a discussion about stability of the cart. I tried it on the narrow board (according to some sources on which it should not work at all) and it seemed to work. At least I could boot and issue some commands for several minutes. And I still wonder what is the reason. Especially that it seemed to work on the latest board. Maybe I should leave it overnight.. -- SD!
