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.
