Yeh ditto here.

Also ditto here, I had just got one of the new Acorns where they bumped up 
the clock to 12 MHz from 8 MHz, but everything else was the same.  I wonder 
why timing was so hard back then - I mean surely they could have had 
something a little more sophisticated to make sure that things remained 
synced.

On the last level, I don't remember how far I got through it, but I vaguely 
remember several doors that were blocking my progress and I just couldn't 
find anything to give me any clues what to do next.  I spent *days* going 
back to it and literally covering every part of the walls and floors I had 
access to, still nothing so I gave up.  IIRC somebody here (maybe you) told 
me what I was missing a while back...
