Hmmm....I notice you're not getting the * Gorgon 2.01 * message on your MT-32 where as Space Quest III *does* print it's intro messages. Is that an Amstrad? I wouldn't have thought that would be an X factor but I'm curious now. Could also be a timing issue where I'm trying to push too much data to the MT-32 too quickly if the CPU is powerful enough. Let me double check and see if I can find a better way to time the messages.
