Ok, I've done the tests :
* Do they work with Hatari 2.0 release version, or only with
later Mercurial version that has the Videl Address Counter support?
No, only with the latest patch for video
* Do they require DSP to be enabled, to work?
No, they work perfectly without DSP emu (dsp = none)
* I assume they have sound, does that work fine in Hatari?
Yes, sound is perfect without glitches
* Both Ishar 1 & 2 need to be run from floppy, it's not enough
to just have some random floppy inserted?
No, I've tried with a random floppy (dark side of the spoon ;)
Then, I've tested Ishar 1 with the "Ishar 1" disk into the drive.
It didn't work too.
I can just make the games work as floppy files.

OK, so I've created st disks (thanks Eero for the zip2st trick, it
works perfectly).
I've been able to play both Ishar 1 and Ishar 2 games.
They work with hatari 2.0
A remark : Ishar 2 plays with 2 floppies. I've inserted ISHAR 1.St into
the drive A and ishar 2.st into the drive B.
But the game asks me to insert the disk B (hatari seems not to detect
the drive B).
I had to eject the disk from drive A and insert the Ishar_2.st file
into
the drive A to let the game load the data from the disk.
Maybe the game use only one floppy drive, I don't know.
Eero, you can change the compatibility list for these 2 games ;)
Before that, could you verify following:
* Do they work with Hatari 2.0 release version, or only with
later Mercurial version that has the Videl Address Counter support?
* Do they require DSP to be enabled, to work?
(Main reason for the DSP info in compatibility list is that
without DSP one can fast forward things much faster.)
* I assume they have sound, does that work fine in Hatari?
* Both Ishar 1 & 2 need to be run from floppy, it's not enough
to just have some random floppy inserted?

Thomas, any comments?
No, that would be wrong. If Getbpb returns a valid structure, it would
indicate that this is a BIOS device also, which is not the case. You
cannot
read sectors from it with Rwabs for example. Its just a bad assumption
of that
demos that they are run from a floppy.
