In order to run Golf if you have a Tandy 1000 your Tandy must have one or
more memory expansion boards installed so that it has at least 256k of
memory (a standard Tandy 1000 comes with 128k of memory). The type of memory
expansion board that you have installed is very important. The Tandy 1000
was designed to be compatible with both the IBM PC and the IBM PCjr, and its
memory can be expanded in 2 ways, so that it more closely resembles one or
the other of these computers.  If the memory board(s) you have installed in
your Tandy have a "DMA chip" (Direct Memory Access chip) your computer will
act more like an IBM PC.  If the memory board(s) have no such DMA chip, your
computer will act more like a PCjr.  Golf was designed to intensively use the
disk and graphic capabilities of the IBM PC, capabilities which the PCjr has
difficulty emulating.  Thus, if you have a Tandy which is acting more like a
PCjr, Golf will not run properly.  If you are uncertain about which sort of
board you have, go ahead and try to run Golf --  you can't harm your computer
no matter which memory board is installed. If you see the title screen, all
is well and you can play Golf to your heart's content.  If you don't, you
probably have a non-DMA memory board.  You can either contact your Tandy
dealer to discuss a DMA memory board or forego golfing by returning your copy
of World Tour Golf to your Electronic Arts dealer for a full refund. If you'd
