3426.0. "Beware of buying any MINDSCAPE product....." by BUZZER::GERBER (For more info, call: 800/555-1212) Fri Feb 02 1990 16:21

	I just talked to tech support at Mindscape (708/480-8715).

	The person there said that they are merging with another company and
any problem reports would not be worth taking until the new company decides
what to do about the MindScape products.

	In specific Gauntlet II does not work well with more than one meg of
memory due to improper memory management.  (Very long load times.)  They have
no plans to fix this or any other problem with any other product at the current
time.

	After the merger happens, they will know what is going to happen.

	No, I do not know what company they are merging with.

On the subject of Gauntlet II and memory...does it work properly with the
Obese Agnus?  I know it should but I just want to hear that it does before
I decide to upgrade the chip yet..

3426.2Gauntlet II & Obese Agnus (1 MB Chip Mem)BUZZER::GERBERFor more info, call: 800/555-1212Tue Feb 06 1990 15:212
Re: .1, Yes it does work with the obese Agnus, however, I also have fast memory
(a 4 MB A2058)  So I don't know if it will need to find some fast memory or not.
