This happened a lot with *some* European A500s (PAL machines) and *early* versions of SideWinder - I believe that most of the affected copies were in fact Pirate copies - I wondered at the time if the author had released some 'not quite perfect' copies into the 'pirate domain' in the hope for publicity, and users wanting to buy a *good* copy.
