Yes. Here is our current list of which XE supercarts will or will not work on an old 800. WILL work on 800 Will NOT work ---------------- ------------- BATTLEZONE LODE RUNNER STAR RAIDERS II FLIGHT SIMULATOR II BUG HUNT MIDNIGHT MAGIC BLUE MAX FOOD FIGHT ARCHON HARDBALL BARNYARD BLASTER FIGHT NIGHT RESCUE ON FRACTALUS ONE-ON-ONE BALLBLAZER NECROMANCER DESERT FALCON > Can I run it on my 600 with only 16k ram ?
