 This install applies to "Fast Lane" © 1989 Artronic.

 Requirements:
 -------------
 This install requires WHDLoad to be in the path.
 To install from a different drive than DF0: select installation mode Expert.

 The installed game requires 0.5 MB ChipMem (+0.7 MB OtherMem for preload).
 It can be quit by pressing F10 (key can be changed with Tooltype "QuitKey=").



 Features:
 ---------
 - Full load from HD
 - OS stuff patched (file loader)
 - CPU dependent timing fixed
 - Timing fixed, frame rate can be chosen with CUSTOM1 (see below)
 - Keyboard routine fixed
 - DMA wait in replayer fixed
 - Byte write to volume register in replayer fixed
 - Interrupts fixed
 - DMA settings fixed
 - NewIcon (created by me)
 - Source code included as usual
 - Quit option that works on 68000 machines (default key is 'F10')


 There was no WHDLoad patch for this game even though one could be downloaded
 from the WHDLoad site since 2002. There was a totally wrong slave inside the
 archive hence no patch for this game was available. Until now.

 Not the worst racing game but some of the graphics are really bad!
 The code itself is fine but the game runs much too fast (i.e. it's unplayable!)
 on fast machines, this has been fixed too. You can choose the speed of the
 game with the CUSTOM1 tooltype, this value specifies the number of vertical
 blanks to wait for during the race. I recommend to use 3 for very fast machines.

 Eenjoy the game from HD. To enable automatic gear shifting press 'G' during
 the race (hidden feature).

 Thanks to Christian Bartsch for the disk image.
