[Blindapple] keynote gold?

Sun Aug 2 01:18:37 EDT 2020

Well I don’t know if this would be a problem for the regular version but the demo doesn’t really work too well with ASAP I haven’t tried it with any of the other screen readers but I was just trying it out with ASAP and at least on my virtual install of windows 98 it did not work too well

One reason is that if I recall correctly, MAME isn't slowing the processor down to 1 MHZ while accessing 5.25 disks like the real hardware does, and that's doubtless messing things up. Also, the fast system speed is a bit faster than it is on real hardware. Don't know if they fixed the Control Panel, but the realtime clock always defaults at power-up to midnight on January 1, 1904, the earliest time possible.
