Good guess, but not entirely correct.  The LC-II support using MRG became 
available shortly after the code freeze on the 1.2 Release.  In fact both 
the LC-II and LC-III were fixed at about the same time. The 1.2.1 Release 
may have included those fixes, but to be safe I'd grab a copy of one of 
the later snapshots. Both the 2/14/97 and 4/2/97 snapshots do support the 
LC-II and LC-III using the MRG code. There was an early version of 
ADBTEST (160 I think) that should run on the LC-II, but later versions 
may not.  It would be best to check the HWDIRECT Web Page for the current 
list of supported machines.
