Your problem is with the speed your clone is running at if you somehow
change this speed to 4.77 MHz you will have no problem. I had the same
problem on my clone, and then I remembered reading that some software
must be run on the slower of the two speeds available on my computer so
I hit the switch to change the speed to 4.77 MHz while booting and I
have not had any trouble running the game. After the Ultima V title is
shown you can switch your clone back to 10 MHz for faster playing.
