	I want to play the old Microprose game UFO (in the U.S. X-Com). It's a DOS game so it isn't be a typical VPC+Windows speed problem. In fact when booting from Win98 into the real DOS, UFO is running way to fast. When I use one of the "Windows"-DOS modi (3 different batches in C:/Windows) the game speed is perfect (~486), but the DOS/game is halting every 30 seconds!!! Normal game, 5 sec total freeze, running again etc. Mac side works normal. I never experienced this in Windows (games) itself, that was slow, but continously running. Any ideas?!?!?!?!? Regards, PB.
