I have a homemade Pentium 60, somethimes the link works, sometimes it
doesn't. I've check interferance and the like but I can't seem to find a
pattern to the madness. Is there another design that works better with the
faster computer (P 60 doesn't seem like its really that much faster then a
486dx). It's really a pain 'cause when I really need the link, is when it
usually doesn't work.

BTW: Anyone know of any good link games for the 85? (except ztetris and
zpong, I already found some)
