2146.0. "kickstart 1.3/ferrari problems" by CGFSV1::R_RYAN () Mon Jan 23 1989 15:04

    	Ferrari formula I by Electronic Arts? does not work with kickstart
    1.3. If your thinking of getting it, don't bother...... unless someone
    out there knows of a way of overcoming this problem. I'm at a loss
    about what to do except for maybe getting a hold of E.A and asking
    them if they've got something in the works.
    	The game loads fine and you can tune the car to your hearts
    delight but the moment you get on the race track the screen blanks
    and you lose the sound. Guru errors report illegal instruction or
    bad address; when you get a guru error that is.

2146.1KickStart 1.3 = Ferrari NO problemMQOFS::LEDOUXReserved for Future UseMon Jan 23 1989 15:357
    Works great with my Kickstart 1.3,  perhaps your version is bad?
    
    Is it a A2000?  then, check your ROM, if not check your copy?
    
    Perhaps the version of the game?

2146.2Game rev???...and I just got it too.CGFSV1::R_RYANMon Jan 23 1989 16:008
    	I'm not sure of the game version but it does not run on other
    A2000's ( I have an A2000 ) that I have tested it on. It does run on
    A500's with kickstart 1.2. I'll check the revision of my game. Do
    you know the revision of your game and when you got it?
    
    	Thanks,

2146.3RDCV01::RANDREWSI have a cunning planMon Jan 23 1989 17:476
    I had the same problem when I tried to run it on a 2000 w/1.3 roms
    I bought my game some time last June.  So, I just play it on my
    1000 and 1.2 Kickstart.  Don't know what to tell you.  When I was
    looking for it last June, I played it for a few minutes on a 2000,
    that was useing 1.2 roms, so it worked.  I would gather then that
    the problem stems from 1.3 roms.  Why, I dunno

    Just to add my 2 cents.  I just purchased the game and it runs fine on
    my 2000 with 1.3 Roms.  I don't know if my this is a newer release than
    mentioned in -.1 but I'm just glad it works.
