659.1Indiana Jones - Action GameQARRY::BHAMILTONBuzz HamiltonTue Nov 07 1989 15:543
    A call to LUCASgames has yielded that indeed the Indiana Jones -
    Action Game has problems with the new TOS and "will not be fixed any
    time soon"

659.3< FALCON looks okay to me >WLDWST::RVANZUYLENRon S. van ZuylenWed Nov 08 1989 07:164
     FALCON flys over with with the official TOS 1.4 in PROM (04/06/89).
     Let's not start nasty incompatibility rumors...  :-)  Strange.

659.4No FALCON with my TOSMGOI02::FALKENSTEINWed Nov 08 1989 11:116
    
    It does not even load completely with my TOS 1.4 ! Somewhen in between
    the machine hangs.

659.5FORTSC::MESSENGERSuspended in EthernetWed Nov 08 1989 17:555
    I'd like to dispel an incompatibility rumor:
    
    PC-DITTO V3.01 works with TOS V1.4... however, COREFAST doesn't work
    with PC-DITTO.

659.6Indy Action NOT a problem with TOS 1.4PDP10::BHAMILTONBuzz HamiltonSun Nov 12 1989 15:0716
    I can't believe it! Indy - action DOES work with TOS 1.4!
    
    I took my 520 with 1.4 to the store to ensure that a replacement game
    would work on my system. We tried the Indiana Jones - action game that
    I intended to return and it worked on MY machine with their SS external
    drive. I took it home and it's the same old story - 3 bombs shortly
    after the game screen comes up. I've tried two different DS and one SS
    drive. It worked on their MEGA with internal DS drive and with their SS
    drive - but none of my drives. I also tried going back to TOS 1.0 on my
    system and it still bombs.
    
    I don't know what's going on but Indiana Jones - Action appears NOT to
    have a problem with TOS 1.4 in spite of the Lucas support line saying
    there is. Evidently they had no way to test and just assumed my problem
    was fact.
    
659.7TOS 1.4 bugCSC32::B_NOTTINGHAMBill NottinghamWed Nov 15 1989 13:0219
    TOS 1.4 has a documented bug that may be causing problems. There is a
    patch program available. Gnif is supplying one call shell_fix (sp) on
    their Neodesk disk. I don't remeber the specifics but will post it if
    anyone wants it. It seems to help at the problem I was having with
    CZandroid.
    
    I really feel TOS 1.4 is worth it....wouldn't live without it.
    
    Atari finally sent me the TOS 1.4 release notes last week (license
    developers).
    
    By the way...I'm still having problem with Neodesk printer queue
    accessory.....anyone else. I don't know if it has anything to do with
    TOS 1.4.
    
    P.S. The only other bug documented was the RS232 CTS/RTS problem they
    "re-introduced".
