The DTI board can also be disabled. But you have to load a short program to do it. (I think the HAPPY is the same way) I have decided to keep my setup completely 'turnkey' so my kids can use it to. Therefore no special software to configure anything. Correct me if I'm wrong, But you still need the warp speed handlers in the machine for Happy. My suggestion for the OS mod allows any DOS to be used, not just Sparta Dos, to get warp speed. So even for the Happy system you either have the warp speed handlers in the DOS or in the OS roms. Since I like MYDOS, I chose the OS rom mod route. Ted
