I've got the original floppy, and have found an image on the web, plus I 
think I already had an image copy. I'll give them a go, with the ADFFS 
utility.

Booting from a floppy on my A3000 is not an option, as I've got a VIDC 
Enhancer and needs the module to load, plus the LCDGames module, so I 
won't be able to see anything.

I haven't tried imaging my floppy, but I suspect it'll fail due to the 
protection (however, I did manage to circumnavigate the protection on 
EGO: Repton 4, and Archimedes Repton 3 which happens to be the same).

Cheers,

Gerald.
